The first book in the instant New York Times bestselling series, the
Empirium Trilogy!
Furyborn is an epic YA fantasy about two fiercely independent young
women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world...or doom
it.
When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything
to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a
queen of light, and one of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle
must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be
executed as the Blood Queen...unless the trials kill the queen first.
One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to
Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana
believes herself untouchable--until her mother vanishes. To find her,
Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire's
heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.
As Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their
stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately
determine the fate of their world--and of each other.
