Book Review: Daughter of the Flames by Zoe Marriott

Inside an ancient temple in the mountains, 15-year-old Zira trains in the martial arts to become a warrior princess who can defend the faith of the Ruan people. Bearing a scar on her face from the fire that killed her parents, the orphaned Zira is taught to distrust the occupying Sedornes. Terror strikes when the tyrannical Sedorne king destroys the only home she knows. To survive, Zira must unravel the secrets of her identity, decide her people's fate, and accept her growing feelings for a man who should be her enemy.

What SL teens are saying about the book...

"I read this book in one day! Throughout the book Zira must be mentally and physically strong, but when she needed to be soft, she could take her guard down in a minute." --Hannah D.

"Ruan seems so real I can picture the marketplace and the dirt road. I like the vivid descriptions of the setting, food, and clothes." -- Winifred C.

"It is an adventure from beginning to end. A magical setting that captures the attention of the reader from the very first page." --Ismael M.
