[Free eBook] The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas [YA Fantasy with Romance]
The Burning Sky by RITA Award-winning Chinese-American author Sherry Thomas is the 1st novel in the Elemental Trilogy of YA fantasy adventure with strong f/m romantic elements, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher HarperCollins' Balzer + Bray imprint.
This is Barnes & Noble's featured Free Fridays selection for the weekend. The trilogy is set in a fantasy realm suffering under the rule of a tyrant mage, and stars a girl with the prophesied destiny of defeating said tyrant, whether she likes it or not, and a prince of the displaced royal family seeking to avenge their loss.
This installment sees them struggling against their assigned roles as the girl reluctantly begins to train her elemental magical powers under the protection of the prince, who discovers that he doesn't want to just use her as a means to an end, even as the tyrant begins to hunt them down.
Offered in the US only, available at multiple retailers.
Free for a limited time @ Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Kobo, iTunes, Google Play (looked like it was free in the US-only; YMMV)
Description
Magic, romance, and intrigue combine in this extraordinary novel—the first in the Elemental Trilogy—for fans of Cinda Williams Chima and Kristin Cashore. Publishers Weekly called it "a wonderfully satisfying magical saga" in a starred review, and Kirkus Reviews said it "bids fair to be the next big epic fantasy success."
Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she's been told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of the Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the most powerful tyrant and mage the world has ever known. This would be a suicide task for anyone, let alone a reluctant sixteen-year-old girl with no training.
Guided by his mother's visions and committed to avenging his family, Prince Titus has sworn to protect Iolanthe even as he prepares her for their battle with the Bane. But he makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the tyrant closing in, Titus must choose between his mission—and her life.

99 Days by Katie Cotugno
99 Days by Katie Cotugno
99 Days by Katie Cotugno 99 days of summer vacation… that sounds a little like Phineas and Ferb *breaks into song* Putting the whole cheating/betraying elephant-in-the-room aside, I really liked this book. Real, raw, honest and fun. I devoured it so quickly that it took me a while to realise there was no more. It was over. But it has such a pretty cover and will look good on my shelf *fangirls…
