Seventeen year old Kaia is the Dragon Heir. She inherited the power of the flame to help protect her homeland from a godlike necromancer, as her ancestors once did. But after centuries have passed and no-one has seen him, he has faded to myth. Because of this, the Dragon Heir is now feared by the people she is sworn to protect. After being shunned by her people Kaia struggles to control her gift while being confined to her family's farm house.
When Kaia learns of the necromancer's army of the undead that has returned to terrorize her land, she runs away to join the fight. Along the way she meets Klaus the Shadow Heir and a cursed cat, who join her on her journey to figure out how to control her fire before time runs out for her world.
What I liked about this book
- The setting - The world was well described. I found that whilst reading, I could picture the scene as though I was there.
- The creatures - I liked that I hadn't heard of most of the creature's but could still picture what they looked like.
- There were a few flashbacks which helped develop a deeper understanding of the relationships between Kaia and Klaus
- Their relationship developed naturally and didn't feel rushed or drawn out.
- My favourite character is Klaus because even though he rarely shows his emotions you can still tell that he cares for Kaia.
- I like how the magic of the Magus is described and how they don't have an unlimited source of power even though they are immortal.
- When ever a new character is introduced there is a bit of their back story told either through flashbacks or through them speaking to Kaia. This really helped to gain a good understanding of their part in the story.
