We Are The Fire

Two teens plot to tear down the tyrannical empire that stole them from their families in this explosive YA fantasy debut.
In the cold, treacherous land of Vesimaa, children are stolen from their families, forced to undergo a horrific transformative procedure and serve as magical fire-wielding soldiers. Pran and Oksana—both taken from their homes at a young age—only have each other to hold onto in this heartless place.

Pran dreams of one day destroying the empire; Oksana only dreams of returning home.

When they discover the emperor has a new, more terrible mission than ever for them, Pran and Oksana vow to escape his tyranny forever. But they soon find that the only way to defeat the monsters that subjugated them may be to become monsters themselves.

As electrifying as it is heartbreaking, Sam Taylor’s explosive fantasy debut We Are the Fire is perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes and the legend of Spartacus.
