About this listen
Fennel and Peree are finally together and safe from the scourge in the protected village of Koolkuna. Except, on the day of their partnering ceremony, the children of the village are stolen away - Fenn's loyal companion Kora among them.
Fenn and Peree join a small search party led by rival Kaiya, the one person who stands a chance of finding the children, thanks to her mysterious past. As they travel away from the safe waters of Koolkuna and into the scourge-infested wilds, Fenn endures Kai's scorn, her subtle designs on Peree, and the squabbling of the group, but nothing in her life so far has prepared her for the fierce warrior women who will steal others' children to preserve their own existence - the Fire Sisters.
If Fenn is to survive the threat of the scourge, rescue the children from the sisters, and have a hope of making a life with Peree in Koolkuna, she must face her fear of failure and loss and become the leader she's destined to be.
The Fire Sisters is the final book of the Brilliant Darkness fantasy romance series. Fans of Divergent and Under the Never Sky will love this series about a blind girl who alone can protect her forest people from terrifying flesh-eating creatures.

Story
Seven years on the run from her abusive father, and with no hope of sanctuary among the dwindling pockets of human civilization, Lark is out of options. Her only leverage is a cursed power: she can thrust fear onto others, leaving all threats fleeing in terror. It’s a means of survival as she searches for a place to call home. If the campfire myths of her childhood are true, Lark’s sole chance for refuge could lie in Cagmar, the city of trolls—a brutal species and the sworn enemies of humanity.

In Garner County, girls are told they have the power to lure grown men from their beds, to drive women mad with jealousy.

Sixteen-year-old Tierney James dreams of a better life - a society that doesn’t pit friend against friend or woman against woman, but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that it’s not just the brutal elements they must fear.

Since she’d been on the outside, she’d survived an Aether storm, she’d had a knife held to her throat, and she’d seen men murdered. This was worse. Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don’t get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She’s been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He’s wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive.

Story
Everything has a spirit: the willow tree with leaves that kiss the pond, the stream that feeds the river, the wind that exhales fresh snow. But the spirits that reside within this land want to rid it of all humans. One woman stands between these malevolent spirits and the end of humankind: the queen. She alone has the magical power to prevent the spirits from destroying every man, woman, and child. But queens are still just human, and no matter how strong or good they are, the threat of danger always looms.
