A hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.

Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched. But she longs for freedom to make her own choices. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind, she nearly pays with her life. Until a beautiful stranger saves her. A stranger who was sent to hunt those like her. For Jacinda is a draki—a descendant of dragons whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into human form.

Forced to flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The only bright light is Will. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her inner draki to life. Although she is irresistibly drawn to him, Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are hunters. She should avoid him at all costs. But her inner draki is slowly slipping away—if it dies she will be left as a human forever. She'll do anything to prevent that. Even if it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy.

Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide.

I am completely and totally obsessed with 'Firelight'! I read the synopsis and I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not. But boy am I glad I went on and bought the book! It was absolutely amazing. It pulled you in by starting off with an intense action scene. Slowly explaining things along the way. It is definitely a one in a life time book. It was different. At the very beginning of Firelight I was drawn to Jacinda’s character. Forbidden from flying during the day. Jacinda’s life was being planned out for her and all she wanted was to be free on her own. Strict rules bound Jacinda so tightly, she just couldn't take it much more.

This book is beautifully written.  I wish it was longer, but oh well. At the end there was so much suspense! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
