Roar of the West - Paperback

Stories are told of the Odious, able to fracture the very earth, to bathe the land in fire and change landscapes at their will. Some even say it was an Odious who made the very sun stop its travel in the sky, bathing half the world in eternal darkness.

But to Linara, the fables are nothing more than bedtime stories to scare children into restless sleep. The sun has always been still, and the land of Irea has always been half dark.

But those myths become reality when Linara inadvertently incinerates two of her close friends to ash by the flames of her own making. Cursed with incendiary power, she discovers the birthmark she's carried her whole life is the mark of the Odious.

Her world shatters, but salvation comes from the very kingdom she thought wanted her dead. They snatch her from the grip of execution to be trained to her fullest potential. Plunged into a whirlwind of dragons, smugglers, and impending war, Linara wonders if setting her own eyes upon the sun is worth the price.
