The Sedornes invasion that destroyed the Ruan kingdom left Zira without memories, identity or family and a jagged scar marring her face. Raised in the mountain temple by warrior priestess, Zira hates the Sedornes, but when she saves the life of a Sedorne noble her whole life is turned upside down. The tyrannical Sedornes king, whose assassins were thwarted, sends an army that destroys the temple. If she is to save the people she loves Zira must uncover her true identity and put her trust in a man who should be her enemy.
Overflowing with fast paced battle scenes, intricate cultures and martial arts, Daughter of the Flames starts out well but becomes a little predictable. I would have liked to see more of Zira’s character struggle as some decisions concerning her enemies seemed to come a little too easily. The rest of the cast need some more character development and so are a little flat. But overall a well thought out and enjoyable story.
