Ignited By Fire

I was born to the desert, after a war that never ended, but before the war that was promised.

The scorching heat never let up, never gave us a break. I was thankful, though, for the rains that kept us cool, and that grew our crops. I knew this land would be desirable to others, that anyone would want it. I hadn't expected that anyone would kill us for it.

Of course, I hadn't realized that the land itself was not the only valuable thing in the Sorra.

Amara was born in the Sorra twenty years before the genocide of her people.

Along with her older sister Sarake, she watched the growing hatred between her kingdom and that of the mainland, as tensions grew over resources, people, and eventually the dragons that inhabit the mountains that surrounded them.

Forced to flee, Amara realizes the goal of the Sorran kingdom is not unify with the West, but to eradicate its people. So she goes East, along with a secret that could change everything.
