An impulsive fire energetic must train with a reluctant Maven: her fire clashes with his calm – but both have secrets that may prove explosive.

Blaize is a powerful but inexperienced energetic. After attempting her first chakra trial – Manipura, fire – she’s sent to Canada to an expert Maven to be trained in her second energy: Ajna, or the mind. 

Her Maven is the mysterious and reluctant Cuinn, who has problems of his own – strange dreams that appear to show him as the only person standing against the destruction of the energetics race. When he discovers that Blaize is part of the prophecy, he knows he needs to accelerate her training – but he’s not prepared for the heat she brings to his normally calm and ordered world. 

But both Cuinn and Blaize have secrets of their own, secrets that could destroy their partnership before it’s begun – a partnership that has a far greater importance than they realise.

The first in a captivating new series of romance and magic, family and loyalty, love and power.

The story works extremely well in addition to the romance. Yes, there’s a romance there, but there’s plot there that exists above and beyond the romance. I have found a lot of paranormal romances have a plot line in addition to the romance, but it often exists just to further the romance – and you can tell. It’s generally shallow, under-developed and with plot holes you could drive a double decker bus through. Here the plot and the romance weren’t co-dependent on each other…I actually really like both characters – they’re very well realised with their own histories and viewpoints and their own very discernible opinions and voices. They’re very well realised and not just in terms of their romance.

I really loved that while this is the first book in the series and the underlying villain is still out their plotting, the romance aspect of the story was resolved in the best of ways. I feel like this was the perfect blend of magic, action, danger and romance. I was reading about the other books in the series after I finished this story, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the next book features another group of main characters (both of which I love from this story!) to find love and kick evil in the ass.
