Expecting punishment, she is surprised to find instead that Sasha is just like her\u2014with the ability to summon fire. Sasha offers Katya friendship and the chance to embrace her power rather than fear it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But outside the walls of Kiev, Sasha\u2019s enemies are organizing an army of people bent on taking over the entire world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Together, Katya\u2019s and Sasha\u2019s powers are a fearsome weapon. But as their enemies draw nearer, will fire and frost be enough to save the world? Or will Katya and Sasha lose everything they hold dear?[\/danlet_about][danlet_about acd_vm=”yes” _shortcode_id=”_sc_id_1491337152″ acd_title=”Now Available!” acd_desc=”The ancient land of \u00c9irinn is mired in war.

But lately, a mysterious crow has been appearing to Ciara, whispering warnings of an even darker threat. Although her clansmen dismiss her visions as pagan nonsense, Ciara fears this coming evil will destroy not just \u00c9irinn, but the entire world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then the crow leads Ciara to Leif, a young Northman leader. Leif should be Ciara\u2019s enemy, but when Ciara discovers that he, too, shares her prophetic visions, she knows he\u2019s something more. Leif is mounting an impressive army, and with Ciara\u2019s strength in battle the two might have a chance to save their world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With evil rising around them, they\u2019ll do what it takes to defend the land they love\u2026even if it means making the greatest sacrifice of all.[\/danlet_about][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1505679890751{margin-top: -150px !important;background-image: url(http:\/\/jessicaleake.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/bg_testimonial_home1-1-2.png?id=2418) !important;}”][danlet_testimonial quote_image=”1581″ acd_svg_height_number=”175″ _shortcode_id=”_sc_id_1491309642″ css=”.vc_custom_1496631211213{padding-top: 200px !important;padding-bottom: 200px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces_content” el_class=”danlet-teacher”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1481183990514{margin-top: -100px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2383″ img_size=”500×700″ onclick=”custom_link” css_animation=”fadeInLeft” title=”Author”][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1505600884437{margin-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Jessica Leake” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:7rem|text_align:left|line_height:7rem” use_theme_fonts=”yes” link=”|||” css=”.vc_custom_1505600330062{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Once upon a time, Jessica Leake was a psychotherapist, but even though she loved her clients, she couldn\u2019t stop writing.
