Series: The Effigies

Years ago, everything changed.

Phantoms, massive beasts of nightmare, began terrorizing the world. At the same time, four girls - the Effigies - appeared, each with a unique power to control a classical element. Since then, they have protected the world from the Phantoms. At the death of one Effigy, another is chosen, pulled from her normal life into the never-ending battle.

When Maia unexpectedly becomes the next Fire Effigy, she resists her new calling. A quiet girl with few friends and almost no family, she was much happier to admire the Effigies from afar. Never did she imagine having to master her ability to control fire, to protect innocent citizens from the Phantoms, or to try bringing together the other three Effigies.

But with the arrival of the mysterious Saul - a man who seems to be able to control the Phantoms using the same cosmic power previously only granted to four girls at a time—Maia and the other Effigies must learn to work together in a world where their celebrity status is more important than their heroism.

But the secrets Saul has, and the power he possesses, might be more than even they can handle...

Reviews for Fate of Flames (#1 Effigies)

"""With its cast of diverse, well-drawn heroines, colourful world building, and action-packed storyline, FATE OF FLAMES is an immersive and monstrously fun read."" -- Elsie Chapman, author of DUALED and DIVIDED ""This series opener has it all: strong females, intrigue, a dash of romance, monsters, and a sequel in the wings."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""In a thrilling adventure with echoes of Pacific Rim, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Raughley (Feather Bound) depicts the cost of power, the lure of fame, and the trauma of overwhelming stress in a compelling story with memorably flawed heroines... An engrossing kickoff to the Effigies series."" -- Publishers Weekly ""A compelling concept, and the mix of fragility, defiance, strength, and utter exhaustion that plays out in the girls feels authentic... A sequel will likely be eagerly anticipated, as these four together have only begun to find their groove, and it’s clear there are more intriguing and disturbing details about this world to uncover."" -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
