(✔️)**Book 1 of the Elemental Chronicles**
One secret can change a life.
After the untimely death of her father in a mysterious fire, sixteen-year-old Emma Haywood finds herself sent off to the remote Allerton-which is, as far as her grandmother is concerned, the finest finishing school for young ladies and her alma mater. Still reeling from his loss and bewildered by the harsh unfriendliness of the other girls, Emma has no idea who she really is. She is a girl with a past shrouded in secrecy.
Yet it does not stay that way for long. Emma is soon pulled into the world of the Elementals, a race of humans with the power to harness the four elements-and discovers she is one herself. However, she is a rare Fire-Elemental, and what makes her different puts her life in danger. And behind all of it is Benedict Huntley, a man who holds the key to her past and the greatest threat the Elementals have ever faced.
