I want to run in the dunes of Ravence and take the holotrains through the brass cities of Jantar. The world of Sayon is so captivating and beautiful. This book will make your heart bleed and burn, and want you to have it done all over again. Ashlea Hearn, author of Take It: Genesis Mortalis. “Aparna Verma does a fantastic job weaving readers into the mystical world of Sayon with well-rounded characters you’ll want to root for! The Boy with Fire is truly a breath of fresh air in the way it comments on war from an interesting new perspective.” Rachel Mumaw, author of Jericho: Echoes of Jericho (Book One) The moral sacrifices they demand from Yassen, Elena, Samson, and Leo in this story hold up a mirror to the morality of our world in a way that is convicting and terrifyingly necessary.” “In a world that is entirely foreign yet somehow familiar, Aparna Verma weaves an intricate story that looks unflinchingly at the costs of war, power, and comfort in a broken world. Tom Kealey, author of Thieves I've Known Aparna Verma’s interlocking narratives weave a rich, savvy tapestry of courage, deceit, and hope." " The Boy with Fire is an astonishing and inspiring fantasy journey among assassins, monarchs, and prophets – all vying to topple or save their world from the edge of chaos. Emily VanderBent, author of Crimson Time Aparna has artfully woven a tale of myth, magic, and intrigue that will keep you flipping pages into the late hours of the night.” “ The Boy with Fire is a true testament to the power concealed within words. The first of The Ravence Trilogy, The Boy with Fire is the tale of a world teetering on the edge of war and prophecy, of fate and betrayal, of man’s irrevocable greed for power - and the sacrifices that must come with it.
But when an ancient prophecy threatens to undo his lifetime of work, Leo wages war on the heavens themselves to protect his legacy. There’s still too much work to be done, too many battles to be won.
Leo Ravence is not yet ready to give up the crown. With the coronation only weeks away, she must learn quickly or lose her kingdom.
She only lacks one thing: the ability to hold Fire. Trained since birth in statecraft, warfare, and the desert ways, Elena knows she is ready. But when Yassen seeks refuge with an old friend, he’s offered an irresistible deal: defend the heir of Ravence from the Arohassin, and earn his freedom.Įlena Ravence prepares to ascend the throne. Now, he’s on the run from both the authorities and his former employer. Yassen Knight was the Arohassin’s most notorious assassin until a horrible accident. Dune meets The Poppy War in Aparna Verma’s The Boy with Fire, a glorious yet brutal tour-de-force debut that grapples with the power and manipulation of myth in an Indian-inspired epic fantasy.
