Echo is a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen
treasures on the black market, and the Avicen are the only family she's ever known. Echo is clever and daring, and at times she can be brash, but above all else she's fiercely loyal. So when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she decides it's time to act. Legend has it that there is a way to end the conflict once and for all: find the Firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seen. It will be no easy task, but if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants ...and how to take it. But some jobs aren't as straightforward as they seem. And this one might just set the world on fire. Featured in the Autumn 2015 Teen Reads newsletter.
