Rosefire

Asael is a kingdom in crisis.

Perhaps it is a coincidence that Anya arrived on Karan’s doorstep—without a past and with great skill in magic—the same night that Crown Prince Loran died, but Karan is not certain she believes in coincidence anymore.

Rosefire is a story of friendship, redemption, and sacrifice. As Karan and Anya, along with Karan's brother Richard and friend Edmund, begin to seek the promised Rose of the Ancient Writings, they learn that the destinies of kingdoms are forged, not always in the heat of battle, but in the hearts and minds of their leaders.

The hardcover edition of Rosefire is casebound with a dust jacket. The paperback edition is a standard perfect bind.

Like the waves that wash against the sea cliffs at Marinel, Rosefire pulses with strong and steady prose. There are undercurrents of wisdom and twists of tragedy and redemption. Carolyn Givens has woven a thoughtful tapestry of characters and events that bears witness to the power of story and sacrificial love.

In Rosefire, Carolyn Clare Givens introduces us to an expertly-crafted world filled with relatable characters whose internal conflicts are a mirror of their world. She gives the reader the opportunity to discover the underlying truths in the novel’s world alongside the characters, and through that, insight into our own.
