"This is going to be huge." --Laura Steven, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Our Infinite Fates

The day Blaze came into the world, she almost drowned it. A Rain Singer born into one of the empire's most esteemed fire-wielding families, her birth summoned a devastating storm that left thousands dead. Ever since, Blaze has lived hidden away with a dangerous secret: the outcast born with a torrential power can only summon a drizzle. Exiled and powerless, she's never felt that she belongs.

When Blaze and her brother are suddenly invited to join the trials for the empire's thrones, she's forced into the spotlight--and into battle. Threats abound at the palace, where two suitors vie for Blaze's attention: the enchanting crown prince and a mysterious, alluring newcomer.

As Blaze struggles to reconnect with her long-dormant abilities, she discovers that still waters run deeper than she could have ever imagined. As sinister secrets come to light and the fight for the thrones turns allies into rivals, Blaze must find the courage to embrace her Rain Singer identity and reclaim her power.

I am the girl who wove the storm that shook the world. And I'm coming for my crown.
