Destiny's Fire

by Trisha Wolfe

It's the year 2040, and sixteen-year-old Dez Harkly is one of the last of her kind-part of a nearly extinct race of shape-shifters descended from guardians to the Egyptian pharaohs. Her home and her secret are threatened when the Council lowers the barrier, allowing the enemy race to enter the Shythe haven. As the Narcolym airships approach, Dez and her friends rebel against their Council and secretly train for battle. Not only is Dez wary of war and her growing affection for her best friend Jace, she fears the change her birthday will bring. When Dez's newfound power rockets out of control, it's a Narcolym who could change her fate...if she can trust him. Dez's guarded world crumbles when she discovers why the Narcos have really come to Haven Falls, and she's forced to choose between the race who raised her and the enemy she's feared her whole life.

Complicated, complex, and filled with wonderful mystery and intrigue; Destiny's Fire is an epic ball of wonder and originality. Reader's will simply fall in love with all of the aspects this magnificently written young adult paranormal steampunk-y book has to offer. There are so many fantastic things that this book has to offer, that reader's will soon find themselves ensconced in such an epic filled thrilling adventure with incredible character's, action packed danger, and a highly entertaining world.

Trisha Wolfe's world building skills have definitely surpassed my own personal expectations and kept me wrapped up in the amazing story she had to tell. It was incredibly easy to fall in love with Dez. Her vulnerability and strength, make her such an easy character to connect with. She's written in such a wonderfully delicious realistic way that it's easy to understand her thoughts and actions throughout the story. Plus, she's totally kickass on many levels! And the boys are just a compelling as Dez, is. Both Reese and Jace, are incredibly swoon-worthy, mysteriously dark and alluringly handsome. They hold the power to either melt hearts or reduce them to ashes smoldering beneath their feet, but oh how they'll make reader's fall in love with them. There is just so much spark and chemistry popping to life off the pages, that the romance that ignites will set reader's on fire. It's written and developed so perfectly complicated, complex, and extraoridinarily sizziling.

The amount of detail and action that went into this novel is definitely sure to keep reader's hanging onto the edge of their seats and craving more. I personally cannot wait to pick up the sequel to this novel and immerse myself back into this world again. It's just that epic and thrilling, a virtual rollercoaster ride of awesome!
