Amara has been subjected to a life of pain. First, the death of her mother and only surviving family, and then becoming trapped with an abusive, alcoholic husband. She finally manages to escape, falling into a world of magic and adventure that she never knew existed. Will she embrace her destiny and fight for her new life, or will everything be taken away from her once more?

"After what seems like hours, the ships dock on our shores, and I spur Ormr into a dive. As men rush the shores, we coast above the ships, letting them see us for the first time. Many men freeze in their steps, while others attempt to ignore us, and continue charging. Once we're low enough, I whisper to Ormr, "Burn it all, girl," and flames pour from her mouth, devouring the ships below us. Let's see them leave now."

------------------------------

This is my first story, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating these characters.

"Feel that?" My breath brushed against her ear. "That burning power, running through your veins like molten lava?" She shuddered. Her hands trembled. "Don't fight it," I continued, voice steady, coaxing. "Welcome it. Let it blaze. You can own it; you can control it." Her breath hitched as the flames surged in her palms, crackling with untamed energy. Her fingers twitched as though they ached to let loose. But I wasn't done. Slowly, I reached out and took her hands, without pausing to think about the damage her fire could do to me. The instant my skin met hers, a shock ran through my body and my element surged through me without warning. Ice surged from my veins, creeping over my forearms, sliding down to meet her flames. Steam hissed where our elements collided, twirling in the air between us in a slow, mesmerizing dance. Our breathing was ragged, our bodies still pressed close. Her eyes locked onto mine, something unspoken passing between us. Elianna Faith, 24, has just graduated from college and is ready to start her life as an independent woman in her new apartment.

How do you get rid of the biggest part of you? How do you ignore the call of something so beautiful yet so deadly? How do you resist the darkness that's been living, growing and thriving within you even before you were born? How do you turn down the only chance to get all the answers you desire, even if it leads you down a path of chaos, horror, and madness? A path others have fought for you not to tread. But why fight at all? Why fight a fire that only burns brighter? "Listen, you can choose not to believe this. But I've been where you are, I've felt what you feel." I opened my mouth to snap back, but he continued, his voice more broken that I'd ever heard it. "Don't ask me how I know - all I know is I don't want to hurt you. I don't want a throne. I just... I just want you to be okay. I can't... I can't lose you too." His eyes held sincerity, pain... and something more. But none affected me. Not anymore. "What makes you think I care about you losing me," I whispered. "When I don't even care if I lose myself?" The others may be trying to douse the fire, but I rather let it burn. Burn until it consumed us all.
