Fire Breathes Stone and Storm by Teresa Hakaraia

Sekya has spent her life making herself small.

Raised in an orphanage alongside Khala, Riva, and Lio, she has done whatever it takes to keep her found family together, even surviving Silk House, a pleasure house in the fire dominion of Eratari.

On Thyra, power belongs to the Taniva, rare shapeshifters carrying the blood of the first elemental creatures. Sekya is not one of them.

Then one night, time stops. The city stands motionless. The Queen hangs above the lake, wings caught mid-beat, and her wounded son turns his head to find Sekya, as though he knows exactly who stopped the world.

Khala holds fire. Riva holds water. Lio holds stone. And Sekya can hold time itself.

Four orphans. Four powers that should not exist. And a bond between Sekya and Kairon that runs deeper than magic, deeper than blood.

Some connections cannot be undone. Some costs cannot be survived.
