Jordan has written many historical romances but this is her first venture into YA writing. Under the name of Sharie Kohler, she writes paranormal romances. Firelight is a respectable debut and an interesting story. Jacinda is a fire draki, the first to be born to her pride in hunddreds of years. Because her kind is so rare, the pride wants to keep her and bond her with the prince of the pride who will someday rule it. However, their intent is to clip her wings so she cannot fly. Knowing this her mother flees with Jacinda and her twin sister, Tamra, a human, to live in Chaparrel, a desert community, hoping that Jacinda can deny her draki heritage and they can lead a normal human life. Unfortunately, Jacinda falls in love with a human, Will, who she discovers has draki blood. When she manifest in front of Will's cousin, a draki hunter, she knows that she and her family must leave this small community and Will behind. The ending almost assures that there will be a sequel. I think that the YA group will enjoy this novel. It's well done.
