Alive by Sage T. Greene

It’s been seven years, and Mari has cut all ties with the Blaze. Even so, she just can’t manage to avoid their destruction; the Blaze is more powerful than ever. Leon took the power of the Attuned, and now Rhu is vulnerable. The villages are under constant threat of Blaze attack, and Valis might have been taken over completely. Mari has taken great pains to keep the Blaze out of Newhaven, but now there’s another threat: the Etheri villages themselves. Battle is looming on the horizon, and the Blaze is to blame. There will be a final showdown—but who will make it out alive? From author Sage T. Greene, ETHERI is an earnest, often-humorous quest for self-determination. Fans of reluctant protagonists and character-driven narratives will enjoy this series.

Etheri by Sage T. Greene

As an Etheri, Mari lacks physical strength and mana control. She feels destined to play the supporting role for her partner Rhu (a natural talent and future Lord of Newhaven) and her cousin Junie (the confident and beautiful one). But when Mari learns that Junie is a member of the Blaze—a mysterious criminal organization—she isn’t sure how to move forward. Mari finds herself learning about the Blaze and gets embroiled in their misadventures. By the time Junie’s identity is leaked to the Etheri villages and the Blaze comes under attack, Mari is no longer convinced that she can pick a side, but failing to do so begins to endanger not just herself, but the people she loves. Mari must choose where her loyalties lie: with her village, with her friends, or with herself.
