Praise for Waking Fire"Waking Fire is propulsive and full of heart. I'm hooked and can't wait to see where Naira, Kal, and Nez go next!" —Sara Holland, New York Times bestselling author of Everless and Havenfall"A searing-hot fantasy debut, full of wit, sacrifice, and the bonds that make us family. Naira is the hero I wish I'd had growing up. Jean Louise understands that the best fantasy is horror and doesn't shy away from the darkness. Her writing is a fire that scorches everything in its path." —Jaida Jones and Dani Bennett, co-authors of Master of One"A vibrant fantasy debut that delivers fast-paced adventure and unexpected surprises." —Kirkus Reviews
