An Element Of Magic

In a world where elemental magic runs through bloodlines, being Dormant is a curse nineteen-year-old Rose Piper can't escape. Her family's reassurances ring hollow-each wielding their own magical gifts while she remains powerless. Rose once found purpose as a battlefield nurse in the Pyre War, but peacetime offers no such refuge for the magic-less.

When tragedy strikes and Rose's parents die in a car crash she can't help but feel it was not an accident. Left to protect her younger sister in the small village of Evergreen, Rose can't shake the feeling that shadows from the war have followed them home. A mysterious stranger, whispered threats and ancient enemies seeking payment in blood.

She may be Dormant, but Rose's time helping people injured during the war taught her that power isn't always measured in magic. Now she'll need every hard-won instinct to keep her sister safe and uncover the truth-before their parents' killer decides two Piper daughters are better than none.

AN ELEMENT OF MAGIC brings an exciting new voice in fantasy. In her mesmerising debut, Fran Fullerton crafts a story of survival, and the true nature of power.
