Witch Hunt: Birth by Flame Book

At the heart of the Maricean Empire, a shadow is growing. Plague and Tyrants loom over the land with promises of greatness yet to come, while ordinary citizens face increased suffering and fear.

Amid this darkness, twelve-year-old Lavender just wants to lead a peaceful life with her mother and her best friend El. But when she's caught up in sudden havoc, she learns that her place in the world is destined to lead her along a more dangerous road. For Lavender is a witch, who can summon the power of flame to come to her aid—or to burn away her enemies. And as revolution brews in all corners of the empire, she's going to learn just how big a fire can be lit by the tiniest of sparks.
