Daughter of No Worlds

Tisaanah was sold into slavery at thirteen, and the night she pays for her freedom, her master tries to whip her to death, so she kills him and runs to Ara. To join the Orders and go back for the friend she left behind, she has to apprentice with Max, a reclusive fire wielder with a terrible past. Slow burn, dark history, one steamy scene, cliffhanger.
