A Shadow Bright and Burning (Kingdom on Fire, Book One) by Jessica Cluess is a retelling of the classic Red Riding Hood story. The book follows young Elisa, who is an apprentice in the kingdom's army. Brought up in a military family and groomed for battle, she knows more about killing than caring for children. However, when her regiment is sent to the remote mountain town of Grisha to deal with another rebellion, Elisa finds herself taking care of two small children she never wanted.
The Kingdom on Fire series is set in a medieval world where a power-hungry king has ruled for far too long. Honor is everything to the honorable ersatz princess, Emira Imerle Polivar, who sets out to end his tyrannical rule. When she forges an alliance with the fire priestess and a powerful new magic, things seem to be going according to plan-until Imerle realizes that she may not just be fighting a war of succession. Paragraph: Kingdom on Fire is told through multiple perspectives, including those of side characters that are just as important as Emira. Though the story starts off slowly, it quickly builds up steam and leaves readers wondering what will happen next while simultaneously cheering for Team Emira.
The Kingdom of Albion is on fire and the people are running out of time. Suddenly, a prophecy is made: "the one who will save us all" will be born. With the enemy at their door, the people's hope begins to dwindle. Nobody wants to believe in the prophecy; they don't want to lose what little faith they have left. But then the unthinkable happens: a baby girl is born with all the prophesied gifts, and she's given an impossible name: Annith. The story follows Annith as her destiny unfolds. It takes her from her family's farm on Albion's borderlands all the way to a temple deep in its heartland, from street fights in war-torn city to battles against shadows deep in its wild forests. Alongside friends old and new, she uncovers surprising truths about who she really is—and just how powerful she can be.—Penguin Random House
