Publisher's summary

In love with one twin, bonded by fire to the other. Welcome to Arcturus Academy.

Ninety-eight percent of fire magi who attempt the agonizing forbidden ritual known as The Burning don’t survive. Those who do...level up in ways undreamt of by the Unburned. I survived. Now I've got other problems.

Headmaster Chaplin charges me with tutoring struggling student April, but when a bully targets April, I feel my control slipping. It doesn't help that he is my crush's evil twin, who - for reasons no one can explain - I share a powerful mage-bond with. It might be enough to push me into darkness. Will I emerge a hero or a fiend? Even I cannot say.

Listen to Firecracker and let the sparks fly!

Arcturus Academy is an action-adventure series of five books by a USA Today and Amazon best-selling author. Saxony is a strong female heroine swept into a world of dizzying plot twists, sweet romance, and intriguing mythology, all woven against a backdrop of elemental magic. Perfect for fans of Kelley Armstrong, Maria V Snyder, and Shannon Mayer. If you like magical power plays, action, and the high of first love, then you’ll adore A.L. Knorr’s explosive series.

Very good book

Story of Saxony is first year at Arturus. Things do not go as planned. Ryan sabatages Saxony and Gate's relationship and all her other friendships.

Fascinating

Twins, one is evil, one is not which one will she choose. A fantasy romance to keep you listening. The Narrator’s voice drew me in, wanting to find out more

😍😍😍 Saxony!

I’ve long awaited for Saxony’s continued story to come on audible. It’s exciting, full of character development, and keeps you guessing. I really like the crew of characters in this book. And as always, Marni Penning is a gem!

Emotional Rollercoaster

I absolutely loved it! I was curious to learn about what Saxony was up to post element series. I was angry, disappointed, excited and sad. I really wish I had time for the physical copy of the next book, but sadly I have to wait until the audible version comes out

Fire!!

I love Saxony. She's one of my favorite from the elementals series and I was so happy to dig into her spin off. Knorr is an amazing writer and she picks the best to be the narrators. I can't wait to see where she goes!!

great story line

I loved this great story line it was fast paced and you did not know what would happen next! I will be fun to see what happens next to Saxony and all of the great character in their next chapter! Firecracker is a great read I had a hard time putting it down! I am looking forward to read book 2. A.L Knorr is a great story teller and Marni did a great job bring it all to life!

A Crackling Beginning to a Series

Parents: ideal for 16+
Language: PG13
Violence: PG
Sexual content: PG13 wet dream, pursuit of the loss of virginity.

The story is a super fun start to an elemental series. Story was fast paced and gives a good perspective on what it’s like as an outsider entering a tight knit community that was raised with a different set of rules. Saxony is a girl you can really cheer for because she’s so far from perfect or typical. This is my first elemental read and I found it quite enjoyable, on to book two!

Narrator had great differentiations and was fun to listen to.
