Fire Becomes Her

Rosiee Thor's "Fire Becomes Her" is a young adult fantasy novel set in a vibrant, Jazz Age-inspired world where magic, called "flare," is a political commodity. The story follows Ingrid Ellis, a determined seventeen-year-old with no family fortune, who plans to climb the social ladder by aligning herself with Linden Holt, heir to a powerful political family. When Linden's father, Senator Holt, runs for president, Ingrid agrees to spy on his opposition in exchange for approval and status. As she delves deeper into the world of political machinations and deception, Ingrid is forced to confront her own values and decide whether to uphold her allegiances or forge an independent path. This book explores themes of ambition, identity, loyalty, and the corrupting influence of power, making it suitable for mature young adult readers.

In Rosiee Thor's lavish fantasy novel with a Jazz Age spark, a politically savvy teen must weigh her desire to climb the social ladder against her heart in a world where magic buys votes. Flare is power. With only a drop of flare, one can light the night sky with fireworks . . . or burn a building to the ground -- and seventeen-year-old Ingrid Ellis wants her fair share. Ingrid doesn't have a family fortune, monetary or magical, but at least she has a plan: Rise to the top on the arm of Linden Holt, heir to a hefty political legacy and the largest fortune of flare in all of Candesce. Her only obstacle is Linden's father who refuses to acknowledge her. So when Senator Holt announces his run for president, Ingrid uses the situation to her advantage. She strikes a deal to spy on the senator's opposition in exchange for his approval and the status she so desperately craves. But the longer Ingrid wears two masks, the more she questions where her true allegiances lie. Will she stand with the Holts, or will she forge her own path?
