Aurora Jay Megalos is a mage searching for a title, the reason for her existence. She moves into a realm where magic and warfare govern those who live there, and makes many discoveries on her journey. There are others who assist her, but it is up to her to find the reason she came to be, and why she is connected to a particular practitioner of the dark arts.Embracing the Flames has a slow, almost boring start, but picks up speed soon. The reader soon finds themselves lost in the story of Aurora, a young woman training to become a mage. This a quest fantasy, one of a journey both physical and internal, and Candace Knoebel plots it well. At times, it seems to move almost too fast, but the elements all come together at the pivotal point. I recommend this story to all who enjoy a good quest tale.Note: I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.
