The Avatar's Flames

Ruethwyn's life was destroyed by a dragon.Maimed by the attack of a dragon, Ruethwyn was only spared by the grace of the mercurial dark elf Essryl, who gave Ruethwyn two years to save her beloved from captivity or risk losing her forever.Whisked away to the premier mage academy of Selwyn, Ruethwyn finds herself among those who believe she is useless, but she refuses to give up. Her determination propels her through all obstacles in her path, and she is joined by an aspiring mage-knight, an enthusiastic kitsune, and a quiet but loyal healer.Opponents may threaten all Ruethwyn hopes to achieve, but they don't know something important.They don't know that nothing will stop Ruethwyn from rescuing those she loves, not even having half her body burnt away. I was born in 1985 in Sacramento, California. I never knew the region, with my father moving to Utah, where my earliest memories begin. The youngest of the family, I have several older siblings, who protected and tormented me by turns. I love them dearly, and appreciate that my family has supported me in my hobbies.I write lesbian fiction, primarily focusing on high fantasy but also occasionally dabbling in science fiction, and I often include darker themes to my books as well.I'm a huge fan of tabletop roleplaying games like Pathfinder and play them as often as I'm able to do so. I'm also a fan of computer strategy games and RPGs, with my favorites in each category being the Homeworld series and Final Fantasy VII.I've read Fantasy and Science Fiction since I was in second grade, and my heart of hearts will always have a fond place in my memories for Brian Jacques, whose works truly let my imagination soar.
