Three years later, Faustine returns to Manhattan. All she wants is to be a typical teenager, at least, one that's part of the in-crowd at her Upper East Side High School. When drop-dead gorgeous Ryker, her long-time crush from the Academy, finally notices her, she couldn't be happier.
However, her desire for a normal life is shattered when her father, a prominent sovereign, disappears after naming her as his successor. Her siblings begin to disappear, and Faustine finds herself in the midst of a power struggle. With her life in danger, Faustine must learn to follow one of Bonfire Academy's most important rules: Trust no one.

Meet Imogen Rose
Imogen Rose is the author of the bestselling YA series, the Portal Chronicles. She was born in a small town in Sweden and moved to London in her twenties. After obtaining a PhD in immunology from Imperial College, she moved with her family to New Jersey, where she’s been based for the past ten years.
For as long as she can remember, Imogen has dreamt stories. Stories that continued from night to night, from dream to dream. So, even as a child, going to bed was never an issue, just an anticipation of the story to come.
Portal, Imogen’s first novel, would have remained in her imagination, to be shared only with her daughter, Lauren, had her eight-year-old not insisted that she write it down. In the course of a month, Imogen typed while Lauren waited eagerly by the printer for the pages to appear, and a novel took shape.
The warm reception Portal received encouraged her to continue with the story and the Portal Chronicles. Book two (Equilibrium) and book three (Quantum) are now available. Book four, Momentum, will be available this summer. Faustine is Imogen’s first book in her new series, the Bonfire Chronicles.
Imogen is a self-confessed Hermès addict who enjoys shopping, traveling, watching movies and playing with her dog, Tallulah.

Today’s 7,500-word Kindle Nation Free Short puts you right in the middle of the adventure.
FAUSTINE
Dear Steve,
Sorry it’s taken me so long to write. I was hoping to get back home to New York and start high school, which I was stressing about. Well, school turned out to be pretty good. You won’t believe whom I bumped into there! Ryker-the guy I have been crushing on for… well, like-forever.
My world seems to have turned upside down since I got home. My dad is missing. We haven’t been able to find him yet, and there is stuff going on here that makes me afraid for his life. I have, in the meantime, been expected to just step in and take over! Yeah, can you imagine it? I am having to basically ‘Queen’ over the London demons, who seem to be creating havoc at the moment. It really sucks.
I have to head off, I’ll write again, soon. Are you still besotted with your Kindle or have you moved on to an iPad? I am thinking of getting some Kindles for my subjects. Maybe reading will keep them out of trouble! Take care, text me your new number!
Love,Faustine

“Faustine is different and most of her friends are different. You will love the oddball characters and the supernatural powers that make them all different… Read Faustine and you will fall in love with her and want to follow her as she goes on adventures. You will not regret tagging along with Faustine.”
–Frankie S.
“The story itself is well written. The storyline unfolds with grace and and pace. The plot is well-thought-out and well-planned, but leaves enough room to add in a few surprises. I was shocked when I learned Faustine’s secret. It came a bit out of left field, but a very pleasant surprise – I was folded in and felt invested in her life and what was going on around (and within) her.”
–Candy Beauchamp, Vine 500 Reviewer
