Emberbound

Cinder Vane thought she was just a human girl with a raging temper. She was wrong—she is a weapon of mass destruction. Hunted by her ruthless mother, who leads a fire-wielding rebellion, Cinder is thrust into the deadly and treacherous Citadel of Embers. There, she meets Prince Sterling, a fierce royal warrior carrying the blood of both fire and frost. Bound together by an ancient, unbreakable soul-link, Sterling becomes her only anchor in a court swarming with spies, assassins, and elitist royals. As a devastating war breaches the castle gates, Cinder must master not only her innate, white-hot flames but also a corrupted, world-ending black magic she accidentally absorbed. With enemies closing in from the rebel army and the vengeful Frost-Born Elders, Cinder is ready to burn the world to the ground to protect the prince who swore to freeze the marrow of anyone who dares to touch her.
