Odriel's Heirs by Hayley Reese Chow | Review | BBNYA 2021 Finalist Tour
If you are looking for an epic adventure story set in a wondrous fantasy world, Odriel's Heirs is perfect for you. It's easy to see how it earned a place in the final round of the competition.
As the Dragon Heir, seventeen-year-old Kaia inherited the power of flame to protect her homeland from a godlike necromancer's undead army. But after centuries of peace, the necromancer has faded to myth, and the Dragon Heir is feared by the people. Persecuted and cast out, Kaia struggles to embrace and control her seemingly useless gift while confined to her family's farm.
But when the necromancer's undead terrorizes the land once again, Kaia runs away to join the battle.
