Sonya was born with the rare gift to feel what those around her
feel—both physically and emotionally—a gift she’s kept hidden from the empire
for seventeen long years. After a reckless mistake wipes out all the other
girls with similar abilities, Sonya is hauled off to the palace and forced to
serve the emperor as his sovereign Auraseer.
Tasked with sensing the intentions of would-be assassins, Sonya is
under constant pressure to protect the emperor. One mistake, one small failure,
will cost her own life and the lives of the few people left in the world who
still trust her.
But Sonya’s power is untamed and reckless, her feelings easily
usurped, and she sometimes can’t decipher when other people’s impulses end and
her own begin. In a palace full of warring emotions and looming darkness, Sonya
fears that the biggest danger to the empire may be herself.
As she struggles to wrangle her abilities, Sonya seeks refuge in
her tenuous alliances with the volatile Emperor Valko and his idealistic
younger brother, Anton, the crown prince. But when threats of revolution pit
the two brothers against each other, Sonya must choose which brother to
trust—and which to betray.
BURNING GLASS is debut author Kathryn Purdie’s stunning tale of
dangerous magic, heart-rending romance, and the hard-won courage it takes to
let go.
My Thoughts
Fantasy
books are everywhere these days. And I have yet to read one I didn’t like, so
me thinks this will be a good one.

Oh wow! Sounds like poor Sonya leads a very stressful life.
