In a world where the Eternal Empress has ruled for a thousand years, she's on the verge of conquering the last parts of it still not under her control. Into this world, two unusual young people have been born. Tair is white-haired and very pale; Roin is oddly orange in color.
When they find each other, they discover they have the power to control fire. Events soon convince them they have no choice but to use this power to fight the empire, but how?
Tair and Roin are both likable and interesting, with plausibly different points of view. The world is definitely not our world; it has three suns.
It also has dragons, and that turns out to matter a great deal.
The story doesn't seem terribly original, but it's enjoyable, and our protagonists are likable. I also enjoyed the art, which helped me slip into the story. It's a pleasant way to spend some down time.
I received a free electronic galley of this book from the publisher, and am reviewing it voluntarily.
