The Pillars

When Selis is taken from the ashes of Menca to the golden city of Zahara, she expects mercy. Instead, she's promised in marriage to the Sambr's son-a union meant to bind their nations in peace. But peace in Zahara is a weapon, and Selis soon learns that the city's holy flames burn brightest for those willing to be consumed.

As secrets unravel and loyalties shift, Selis must choose between survival and defiance-between the gods she was raised to serve, and the people she's meant to lead.
