Facing the Fire Carol Beth Anderson

"We're probably going to lose. Why should we even try?"

"Trying gives us purpose. Sometimes trying is the whole point."



The Grays have won.

Despite resistance from Tavi Malin and the rest of the Golds, Konner Burrell and his puppet king now rule Cormina. Knowing their lives are in danger, the fugitive Golds have gone into hiding.

Tavi bides her time, striving to craft the perfect strategy to defeat the Grays. But when Konner's people begin killing innocents, Tavi realizes the battle for her nation's freedom cannot wait.

As gray magic infiltrates the land, the Golds plot to lure Konner into one final confrontation.

But Tavi isn't only fighting to liberate Cormina, she's also struggling with her own future--and how her friend Tullen fits into it.

It's hard enough for Tavi to risk her life. She must also decide if she will risk her heart.

Author Interview:



What makes this new world unique?



In the Sun-Blessed Trilogy, the magical system is tied to childbirth. I love the miracle of birth, and tying magic to such an incredible event felt natural and appropriate. Some of the heroes in this series are midwives, who pass magic on to sun-blessed children and later train these same children to use their gifts.



What audiences is the series appropriate for?



This trilogy is appropriate for teen and adult audiences. There is no cursing, explicit sexual content, or gory violence. (The series contains childbirth scenes, details of puberty, non-gory murder scenes, and non-explicit references to adultery). I wanted to write a series my own kids could read, and I'm happy to provide an exciting, quality story that a wide variety of ages will enjoy.
