YA Dark Fantasy
The Trees Were Torches is a dark YA fantasy that evokes the found family of Six of Crows meets Three Dark Crowns set to an Evanescence soundtrack.
Duchess-turned-soldier, Ryder Anderas, is forced to choose between saving her life or her soul. But after her inner demon is unleashed on the world and her mother is assassinated, she must team up with a band of rebels to unravel the plot to plunge her country back into the dark age of Elemental tyranny.
Ryder squirmed in her seat, always unsure how to balance the part of herself that wanted to help people and the part of her that was so damn good at hurting them.
