THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER! 
"A thrilling fantasy about power and patriarchy" - The Bookseller's Book of the Month 
 
If he has the ability to wield magical powers, everyone will rejoice – especially the girl who loves him. But what happens when they realize she has the gift? 
 
Éadha (A-ya) has grown up in a deeply flawed society. In Domhain, power is drawn by elites from the life force of other, “lesser” people called Fodder. Those with this innate ability, the Channellers, have reshaped society to ensure their own high status and obscure the exploitative nature of their powers. Éadha, a lowly servant girl, is in love with her close childhood friend Ionáin, the son of the keep’s ruling family. But the fate of his family’s position rests on whether Ionáin has inherited a Channeller’s ability – everyone is tense, waiting to see the result of the assessment on his 17th birthday. 
 
However, in a twist of fate, Éadha discovers that she herself contains this power … and Ionáin doesn’t. It’s unheard of – and dangerous – for a servant, especially a woman, to be a Channeller. 
 
Instead, Éadha tricks everyone into believing her to be gifted only as a Keeper, a Channeller’s assistant who is less powerful but can manipulate the threads of power from Fodder. She is allowed to attend the Channeller training academy alongside Ionáin, who is – unbeknownst to him – being empowered by Éadha’s own gift. Here, she is caught up in a whirlwind of patriarchy and heartache, torn between her lifelong devotion to Ionáin and her undeniable attraction to the enigmatic Gry. She also learns a devastating lesson: the human cost of the Channellers’ power – and the lengths they will go to keep it.

Her Hidden Fire

The second book in the searing HER HIDDEN FIRE romantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of S. F. Williamson, Lynette Noni and Samantha Shannon. 
 
What happens when a girl escapes her fate? 
 
The hunt begins. 
 
Éadha has narrowly escaped the cruel grip of the Master Channellers on the back of a dragon. Forced to the very edge of the world she knows, to a place of long-held secrets, she must create a new life for herself - in ways she'd never imagined. 
 
Ionáin must come to terms with the fact that he has no power, nor did he ever. Deep into the Fodder holds, he faces the stark reality of what it means to be an enemy of the Masters, and tries to make sense of what happened with Éadha. 
 
Gry must walk the careful balance between protecting his Family's secret legacy and being true to his feelings. With his newly revealed abilities, he must train with the Masters he despises and hope to find some way to undo the very system that makes him elite. 
 
Told from these three perspectives, HER HIDDEN FIRE 2 is a whirlwind sequel of world-shattering secrets, heartache, and the terrible consequences of power. 
 
What would you sacrifice for love?
