Ice is in her blood.
Eighteen-year-old Waterrunner Eira Landan lives her life in the shadows - the shadow of her older brother, of her magic's whispers, and of the person she accidentally killed. She's the most unwanted apprentice in the Tower of Sorcerers until the day she decides to step out and compete for a spot in the Tournament of Five Kingdoms.
Pitted against the best sorcerers in the Empire, Eira fights to be one of four champions. Excelling in the trials has its rewards. She's invited to the royal court with the "Prince of the Tower," discovers her rare talent for forbidden magic, and at midnight, Eira secretly meets with a handsome elfin ambassador.
But, Eira soon learns, no reward is without risk. As she comes into the spotlight, so too do the skeletons of a past she hadn't even realized was haunting her.
Eira went into the trials ready for a fight. Ready to win. She wasn't ready for what it would cost her. No one expected the candidates might not make it out with their lives.
A Trial of Sorcerers is the first book in a brand new, young adult, epic fantasy for readers who love stories involving: sorcerer competitions, slow-burn romance, adventures to distant lands, and elemental magic.
**A TRIAL OF SORCERERS is set in the Air Awakens universe, but is it's own unique story. Readers new to the universe can start here!**

The story line and characters could have been great, but the story is rushed and there is very little character development or any kind of development in scenery, backstory, etc. It reads more like an outline, needs to be more fleshed out.
An awesome start to a complex saga! Eira is an interesting young woman with powers that need to be developed. Her attempts to break from the perceived prison her family has created lead her to both grow her powers and personal experiences and meet great pain.
This book has an excellent plot. I would highly recommend it to readers who adore stories of magic. I can only hope that the answers being searched for are found in book two.
The story starts a little slowly but gradually picks up momentum. Heading for the next book. Well-rounded characters that one can relate to.
Loved this book, it was refreshing to have a book that was focused on the FMC character development and not just on the romantic storyline, though I think that may develop in the next one.
