An epic tale of love and revenge set in a world inspired by Inquisition-era Spain pits the magical Moria against a terrifying royal authority bent on their destruction.

When the royal family of Selvina sets out to destroy magic through a grand and terrible inquisition, magic warrior-thief Renata—trained in the art of stealing memories—seeks to kill the prince, leader of the King's Justice. However, she soon learns through powerful memories that he may be the greatest illusion of them all, and that the fate of all magic now lies in her hands.

With the ferocity of series like Ember in the Ashes and Throne of Glass, and loosely based on 15th century Spain, Incendiary explores the double-edged sword of memory and the triumph of hope in the midst of fear and oppression.
