Gems of Fire Kindle Edition

by Diane E. Samson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 214 ratings
Forbidden gems. Evil lords. Enchanted beasts. A reluctant assassin.

Princess Anna can never escape the castle's cold walls and scorning disapproval of her father and his brute royal counsel, Seamus. She'll always live in the shadow of her late mother, the queen. Will they ever see her for who she really is?

A riding accident lands Anna in the hands of traders who sell her as a slave in distant Kasdod to none other than her father's enemy, Lord Anwar. After overhearing a dangerous plot to conquer Sunderland and kill the royal family, Anna must escape and warn her father, even if it means facing her greatest enemy.

With the doom looming over her, Anna is approached by a dangerous man in the dark. He claims to want to help her, but can she trust him with her secrets? The perils of the journey ahead will push Anna to the limit and answer the one question that has always plagued her...

Will she ever be enough?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A BREATHTAKING JOURNEY into ROYAL COURTS, slavery, escape, WAR, and LOVE. This book has it all. This is a great story of one little girl that has some of the worst luck in the world. She never meets her father's expectations and hates her father's counselor for very personal reasons. This story crosses DESERTS and DARK FORESTS and has a HANDSOME savior to rescue her. Diane Samson has written a tremendous novel that needs at least one follow-on. Anna hasn't yet become the queen she is destined to become." ★★★★★ Goodreads review

"From the first page—the horse race with Anna riding Farley I was HOOKED. I set up my phone to read the book aloud to me. I found myself looking forward to chores just to get to hear the story. The ending is longer than I am used to, and wraps up in a satisfying way. In fact, I just bought book 2 in the series, Valley of Bones. Can't wait!!" ★★★★★ Amazon review

"A TOUGH PRINCESS who despite great suffering never gives up. I really loved Anna's DETERMINATION and HEART. You'll find ADVENTURE, HIGH STAKES, and ROMANCE in the midst of such horrible circumstances. A solid plot with a story that stayed with me. ★★★★★ Goodreads review

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Diane E. Samson grew up on acreage just north of Kansas City, Missouri, with horses and dogs in the backyard. She later pursued her love of words and earned a degree in magazine journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia. After graduation she worked as a reporter, managing editor, freelance writer and in public relations. After moving around the country, she's recently returned to the Kansas City area where she lives with her husband, children and golden retriever.

She's written fiction off and on her whole life and was thrilled when publisher Clean Reads offered to publish Gems of Fire, the first of three in the Gems of Fire series about a girl traveling a journey of self-discovery in a world of powerful gems, supernatural forces, epic battles and of course, handsome heroes.

After reading Shadow of Death, I immediately started on this book. Samson does a fantastic job of pulling the reader into the story and keeping them hooked. Anna and Jack are such fantastic characters to lead this journey. Neither of them is perfect, and those flaws are what make them human, real. I absolutely love Avery and Star. Samson did an amazing job of giving them personalities of their own. The romantic aspects of this novel were handled extremely well, and the world-building is phenomenal. I plan on starting book 2 today.

    This is a great start to the series! Looking forward to the next few books to see if they live up to this one. The book starts off exciting and ends happily concluded. That doubles the mystery for me as to what happens in the future books!

    I'm retired and now have time again to read. This book reminded me of all the reading I did as a teen and young adult. Wonderful, exciting action and moving romance. I also loved the concept of using supernational power either for good or evil. It relates so well to the people today who use their own power for good or evel.
