Katarina Ashowan is a mutated fire witch who would rather fight than curtsy, but duty calls her to serve as companion to her best friend Alina, the new queen of Troivack. The long journey from Daxaria to Troivack forces Kat into close quarters with Eric — the crown prince of Daxaria, long-absent and thoroughly aggravating. What begins as constant bickering slowly reveals a kinship, and then something warmer still.

Katarina is a feisty, physically capable young woman who chafes against every courtly expectation — she would rather spar than gossip and would sooner charge into danger than wait for rescue. Her fire magic is powerful but unstable, a metaphor for her emotions. Eric is the kind of slow-burn love interest who sneaks up on both the reader and the heroine.

Set in the beloved world of the House Witch series, The Burning Witch trilogy follows Kat as she navigates court intrigue, mysterious assassination attempts, and fire magic that grows harder to control. Her bond with Eric deepens under pressure while political threats multiply around them. The series carries the same warmth and humor that made the parent series popular, now filtered through Kat's fiercer, more combative personality.
