Publisher Comments:

It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. In King City, the young King Nash is clinging to the throne, while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. War is coming. And the mountains and forest are filled with spies and thieves. This is where Fire lives, a girl whose beauty is impossibly irresistible and who can control the minds of everyone around her. Exquisitely romantic, this companion to the highly praised Graceling has an entirely new cast of characters, save for one person who plays a pivotal role in both books. You don't need to have read Graceling to love Fire. But if you haven't, you'll be dying to read it next.

This edition includes an article by and an interview with Kristin Cashore, as well as a sneak peek at her next book, Bitterblue!

After Graceling I raced to read this and I was so happy I did. Although a stand alone book from Graceling it brought me back to the world described in Graceling. Fire is about a beautiful "monster" and it was a very creative subject topic that allowed the book to continue in a new way from Graceling. I recommend this to not just young adult readers but also to adults.
