"Daughter of the Flames" by Zoe Marriot

Zahira is the sole survivor of the royal house of Ruan. Her parents and siblings are killed in a fire. Zahira escapes because her nanny gave her life to bring her to the safe haven of religious sanctuary.

Zahira, now known as Zira, grows from child to young woman not knowing her true identity. This knowledge is thrust upon her when th temple is attacked. King Abheron destroys anyone and anything who challenges his authority. Zira learns of her past and begins the quest to free her people from the rule of the unbalanced Abheron.

I enjoyed reading "Daughter of the Flames." I loved Zahira as the heroine. I found her to be a well developed character. The book was full of action as well as romance.
