Heir of Storms by Lauryn Hamilton Murray

A High-Stakes YA Romantasy Debut for Fans of Red Queen and Shadow and Bone
Dangerous magic. Deadly secrets. One storm-born girl must fight for a crown that can only be claimed in blood.

On the day Blaze was born, the skies opened—and nearly drowned the empire. As a Rain Singer born into a powerful fire-wielding bloodline, her magic should have been impossible. Instead, her storm left thousands dead—and her name cursed.

Seventeen years later, Blaze hides her powers and her past. Until a royal summons arrives, inviting her and her twin brother to compete in the Empire’s brutal succession trials, where heirs are not born—they're made.

At the glittering Golden Palace, political scheming, ancient rivalries, and slow-burning romance swirl around Blaze as she contends with unexpected enemies, courtly danger, and two irresistible suitors: the charming Crown Prince, and a darkly magnetic outsider who might see through her façade.

But the trials are more than a game—and Blaze’s storm magic may be the empire’s salvation or its ruin. To seize the throne, she must stop running from her power... and from the legend she was born to become.
