    About this audiobook

    Stepping into her destiny comes with a price she never expected.

    Saxony Cagney counts herself lucky when she wins a position as an au pair in Venice for the summer. It’s her responsibility to take care of two young boys - speak to them in English, make sure they get to their swimming lessons on time. Piece of cake, right?

    She unexpectedly forms a strong bond with the youngest boy–Isaia. She also meets two Italian men… both are smart, successful, sexy. So far things are going her way. Who doesn’t like options?

    When she discovers Isaia is actually dying, and his mom is trying to keep it a secret from his dad, things get a violent shove into complicated… and then contagious––She’ll never be the same again.

    Just when she’s got more on her plate than she can handle, she accidentally gets tangled up with the most powerful crime family in Venice.

    Welcome to the world of fire magi, where what doesn’t kill you (literally) makes you stronger. After the ancient power of pyromancy is forced upon Saxony, she finds herself tangled up with the most powerful crime family in Venice. Will Saxony survive long enough to learn the secrets of her new abilities, or will they kill her?

    Born of Fire is a novel from The Elemental Origins, a non linear series of captivating YA urban fantasy novels that can be read in any order, except for The Elementals, which should be read last. If you wish to listen in the order the stories were written, here it is; Born of Water, Born of Fire, Born of Earth, Born of Aether, Born of Air, and The Elementals.
