Produktbeschreibung

Book One in Daughters of the Volcano

Her destiny is fire…and death.

Since seventeen-year-old Aera's holy powers manifested three years ago, she has known nothing but the temple, the priests, and the long training to make her into a fire priestess.

Everything about her former life she has had to forget, even Corus, childhood friend and the boy with whom she was beginning to fall in love. Able to transform her body into molten rock, she is destined to serve the volcano god forever, as lava-shifter, priestess…and executioner.

Before she takes up her ordained role, she must face her final test. Execute a criminal sentenced to death for the most unforgivable of all sins: blasphemy.

But it's no anonymous lawbreaker waiting chained at the centre of the labyrinth. It's Corus, sentenced for the crime of being a gargoyle, a winged stone-shifter. A gift akin to hers…except his gift is unsanctioned by the temple, his powers proclaimed unholy.

If she refuses the test, she will betray her god and condemn her family to disgrace. To pass it, she must kill the boy she loves.

Autorenporträt

As a child, Imogen Howson loved reading so much that she not only read in bed, at the table and in the bath, but in the shower and—not so successfully—on her bicycle.

She enjoyed books in a slightly unorthodox way, too: many of her childhood books have ragged edges where she tore paper from the margins in order to eat it.

Imogen lives with her partner, their two young adult children, three cats, and two tiny dogs, in Cambridgeshire in England, where she bakes, runs, drinks coffee, and sustains an amateur but enthusiastic interest in all things make-up and skincare.

She is a member of The Romantic Novelists' Association.

She no longer eats paper.
