~"I am blown away by What Claims By Fire, consumed and literally on fire inside, no pun intended." ~
Julie Mayden is an outsider in her own home. Her mother was murdered when she was four and her father is on his fourth wife. So how could Mayden possibly know that she's being watched by the two eldest matriarchs of the 1,200-year-old Quinn Clan to become the next in line as the Keeper of Magic?
With two eligible great-grandsons to choose from, Mayden is torn between beautiful and smart Michael, who is a natural with magic, and the ruggedly devoted Jake, who wants only to protect Mayden as she is pitted against the dark and powerful Helene.
Swept up in a world of mystical forces, family rivalries, and shape-shifting great-grandmothers, Mayden is taught to harness her power and prepare for the greatest challenge of her life. Yet what she chooses to do with her newly found gift has everyone reeling, wondering if goodness can possibly prevail as the next generation rises to take its place in the legendary Quinn clan.
