Synopsis:

In a world that burns the gifted, survival isn't just a skill, it's a rebellion. Sixteen-year-old Celeste never asked for power. Born in the shadowed forests of Lahbell, she lived quietly, until a single, reckless act of heroism ignites something ancient within her. Fire answers her scream. Wind coils at her command. And the life she knew burns to ash. Ripped from her home and hunted for the abilities she never understood, Celeste is thrown into the brutal heart of Condinia's Elite Academy, a war-forged institution where power is sharpened and consequences are lethal. There, she is flanked by two forces she never expected: Andrew, her storm-eyed sparring partner whose loyalty runs as hot as his fire, and Mark, a smirking powerhouse with secrets buried beneath his strength. But as her powers evolve into something Condinia has never seen. Ssomething that frightens even the instructors meant to shape her. Celeste must navigate more than just the battlefield. Secrets pulse beneath the academy's walls. Loyalties fracture in silence, and between Andrew's protective fury and Mark's intoxicating pull, she is caught in a war far more dangerous than drills. Because in Condinia, emotion is a weapon. And Celeste? She's done pretending she doesn't feel the fire.

Perfect for fans of:
Think Shadow and Bone meets Red Queen, with the tension of Shatter Me and the heartbreak of The Hunger Games, but with its own storm soaked fire.
Bound by Fire is the first installment of a gripping two-part series that explores the fine line between power and destruction, love and war, control and chaos.
