YAElemental Trilogy series.
When sixteen-year-old elemental mage Iolanthe summons a lightning bolt, she draws the unwelcome attention of the Inquisitor of Atlantis. She also draws the eye of resistance fighter Prince Titus, who rescues her and disguises her as a boy. Heightened action combined with Scarlet Pimpernel–esque cleverness will keep readers eagerly turning pages, while the romantic tension adds juiciness to the fantasy plot.
