Whip-smart and immersive this Jamaican-inspired fantasy follows a gods-blessed heroine who's
forced to choose between saving her sister or protecting her homeland-perfect for fans of Iron
Widow and The Priory of the Orange Tree. Faron Vincent can channel the power of the gods. Five
years ago she used her divine magic to liberate her island from its enemies the dragon-riding
Langley Empire. But now at seventeen Faron is all powered up with no wars to fight. She's a
legend to her people and a nuisance to her neighbours. When she's forced to attend an
international peace summit Faron expects that she will perform tricks like a trained pet and
then go home. She doesn't expect her older sister Elara forming an unprecedented bond with an
enemy dragon-or the gods claiming the only way to break that bond is to kill her sister. As
Faron's desperation to find another solution takes her down a dark path and Elara discovers
the shocking secrets at the heart of the Langley Empire both must make difficult choices that
will shape each other's lives as well as the fate of their world. By turns hopeful and
devastating So Let Them Burn is a masterful debut with a blazing heart. I was captivated from
beginning to end by Cole's sharp clever prose and by her protagonists-two remarkable sisters
with an unforgettable bond' - Chelsea Abdullah author of The Stardust Thief
