The Fire Within is an amazing, fast paced book about the immediate attraction between Eleni and Zahak. Eleni is deathly afraid of her brother Darius who torments her through her dreams when he allows her to go to another tribe in the desert to help him gather allies for his army. But what he doesn't know is that Eleni has plans of her own and goes into the desert to try to find someone strong enough to protect her from Darius.

The characters were intriguing and I was there every step of the way, I only wish it had been a little longer because I would've loved to learn more about the world this story takes place in and more about the characters. But I will definitely be on the look out for more work from this author. 

Note: I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't stop reading it. :D
