In 1812, Elinor Pembroke wakes to find her bedchamber in flames—and extinguishes them with a thought. Her talent makes her a desirable match in Regency England, but rather than make a loveless marriage or live dependent on her parents, Elinor chooses instead to join the Royal Navy. Assigned to serve in the Caribbean, she turns her fiery talent on pirates preying on English ships. But as her power grows, Elinor’s ability to control it is challenged. Could her fire destroy her enemies at the cost of her own life?
