Enna Burning by Shannon Hale

Enna is a simple Forest girl with fierce loyalties to her kind and country.  She just happens to be Queen Isi of Bayern's best friend.  When she hears about Tira's attack on Bayern, she knows she must do something.  She has a powerful secret:  she knows how to talk and command fire.  However, this is a gift that killed her brother.  She must decide if she is willing to risk using it in the name of Bayern.  Once she starts, she might start burning from the inside.  Her confusion about Finn, a boy she's known forever, and Sileph, a handsome guard who is also her Tiran captor, doesn't help at all.  Enna's burning and time is running out!                           - Reviewed by Michele
