What Claims By Fire (Mayden)

Julie Mayden is an outsider in her own home. Her mother was murdered when she was young and her father is on his fourth wife. So how could she possibly know she’s being watched by the two eldest members of the 1,200-year-old Quinn Clann to become their next Keeper of Magic? With little time and even less understanding, Mayden must discover and claim her own innate talents. She’ll need the help of the elderly matriarchs and their two teenage great-grandsons — sophisticated Michael, who is a natural with Magic, and straightforward Jake, who wants only to protect Mayden as she is pitted against the dark and powerful Helene. Swept up in a world of mystical forces, family rivalries, and shapeshifting great-grandmothers, Mayden is taught to harness her power and prepare for the challenge of her life. Yet what she chooses to do with her profound gift has everyone reeling, wondering if goodness can possibly prevail as the next generation rises to take its place in the legendary Quinn Clann.
