Lissa, the heroine of Fire Bound, is special to me. She is as secretive and quiet as she is loyal and fierce. She exemplifies the element she is bound to; fire. You see fire, know it’s warmth and importance, but it’s easy to take it for granted and that’s when you get burned. Lissa has kept a secret from the women she calls her sisters because that secret is dangerous. She’s already lost her parents, she would do anything to keep her sisters of the heart protected, even from herself and her secret double-life.



Casimir is a man of secrets as well. Also orphaned, he has only his brothers as family. So when they ask him to watch over Lissa when she leaves for Italy he agrees. But, he is also bound to fire, his magic gifts as dangerous as Lissa’s. So when the two realize they need to work together things heat up, as you can imagine.

I love how the two are a perfect a compliment for each other. They both know the need for secrecy, double-lives, alias, disguises. They know how to kill and how to survive. Threaten what they love…who they love, and their magic becomes combustible.
Fire Bound
They are two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together.
