By Fire and Flood - Sage Kafsky

. .

Résumé :
Many generations ago, the wielders of Galarmos split their once-united nation into five realms based on the elements that give them power. A tenuous peace fell into place, leaving each realm deeply suspicious of its neighbor's intentions. No one suspects a pawn of any real greatness. Nissa Chantara is the daughter of the Water Realm's Governing Lord, and she has spent her life being shown her place and hating every minute of it. When she discovers her family's intention to make her a pawn in their quest for power, Nissa is faced with a choice: fall into line, or flee everything she's ever known. When she's forced to cross into a rival realm, she is confronted by the Fire Realm's notorious heir, and the consequences of her defiance become more complicated. Armed only with her fledgling powers and a determination to escape her fate, she uncovers tensions between the realms that run deeper than she ever could have imagined. Friends, family, enemies, and allies become overlapping distinctions as she pursues her freedom. For the wielders of Galarmos, power is the most valuable currency. The second most valuable is blood....
