The Iron Flame Rebellion

Welcome to Aureth Hall, where obedience is demanded, and terror is cultivated as carefully as magic. For senior trainee Madison James, the prestigious military academy is not a place of honor, but a system of cruelty she intends to break from the inside. As the assessment bell rings over the cliffside training courts, Madison prepares for her final-term fire test. Her goal is simple: secure a high command placement to shield younger students from the brutal traditions of the crown. But achieving authority requires absolute restraint. Madison must hide the dangerous depths of her fire-aether beneath a facade of flawless discipline. Surrounded by anxious trainees, perceptive friends, and the calculating gaze of brilliant mentor Christian Richardson, Madison stands on the precipice of her future. In an examination designed to expose weakness, she must prove her mastery over the flame-and the fierce anger simmering just beneath her surface.
