YA
Valory, a Calgoran royal family member, seemingly has no elicromancer abilities until a tragic accident on her seventeenth birthday unlocks them. She becomes entangled in the fight against a dangerous resurrected eliocromancer to save herself, her friends, and the realm. Fans of Kingdom of Ash and Briars--about Valory's elicromancer ancestor Bristal a century earlier--should enjoy following Valory's journey and her discovery of magic.

YA
Scullery maid Bristal, a shape-shifter, learns she is one of only three still-living elicromancers: magic workers charged with keeping peace. As she expands and hones her power, she must decide whether to follow a path of morality or one of power. Fantasy devotees should forgive this debut's occasional abrupt transitions and appreciate the impressive breadth of its world-building and subtle nods to classic tales.
