Three unlikely heroes. Three fairytale retellings. Three lives that will never be the same. 

• Elissa, a stubborn village lass, attempts to save her brother but ends up trapped in a hidden valley with a captor covered in beastly scars.
• Evrard, a wingmaster in the Prince’s army, races against deadly mistbenders to discover the tower of a girl with golden hair before his own song flickers out.
• Haydn, a reluctantly pardoned rebel, follows a breadcrumb trail of shadows and lies to protect his sister and find a stolen stormestone.

Burning Rose is a collection of the first three Legends of Light novellas, plus a bonus prequel.

INCLUDING:

Rose of the Oath: Beauty and the Beast
A rose should never cost one’s freedom, and Elissa isn’t about to let her brother pay such a ridiculous price. Even if it means taking his place.

Now trapped in an enchanted valley with a scarred host, Elissa begins to realize it is more than just her prison. The curse that holds her here also binds her captor. But the secrets he guards could hold the key to her escape.

Except maybe the curse isn’t a curse at all. And maybe secrets are the only thing keeping her alive.

Song of the Sword: Rapunzel
He fights in the melody realm. She is held captive in the physical one.

As the Wingmaster of the Aslarian army, Evrard’s abilities allow him to see things others can’t. His invisible songs can turn the tide of battle. Or at least, they could. Once.

Now his song is failing.

Then a mysterious melody joins his own, strengthening it in ways only possible when both singers are bound by blood–a twin in a tower, her voice as golden as her long hair.

But it’s one thing to find someone in the misty melody realm. It’s another thing to track them down in the physical world.

Evrard doesn’t care. He has to try to rescue her or his own song may fade completely. Something that may happen anyway if her captors manage to seize him as well.

Shadows of the Hersweald: Hansel and Gretel
When the war ended, Haydn could have disappeared into the forest like so many other rebels. His mother and sister would have helped him escape.

But Haydn knows he deserves judgement, as do his former comrades. If he escapes, then so do they, and that is a risk he can’t take.

When a stolen stormestone upsets his barely laid plans, Haydn is forced to protect his sister and confront those he once called comrades. Amid shadows of betrayal, he follows a dangerous breadcrumb trail of lies and duty.

Even if it means rejecting the pardon that could save his life.

BONUS: Rose of the Night: a Rose of the Oath prequel
He stole the rose to win her heart. Instead, he triggered a curse.

After dooming himself and the others living in his valley, Adrian works desperately to undo the grief he caused. But, as months roll into years and scars layer upon scars, it becomes obvious that this curse requires more than he can give.

In the end, will any effort be enough? Or is everything Adrian loved doomed forever?
