/.6 LC Class: PSI F57 Followed by: Wildfire: Firethorn is a fantasy novel by American writer Sarah Micklem. Wildfire: A NovelI waited five long years for the second book by Sarah Micklem, the first book being Firethorn, but it was well worth the wait. Well written and not afraid to write about violence and other aspects of war, this book is dark fantasy and not for everyone, however I think Micklem has written another gem. Firethorn, the first volume in an epic trilogy, is a stunning debut. Sarah Micklem has introduced an unforgettable heroine into the fantasy pantheon. Loving, reckless, and indomitable, Firethorn travels through an imaginary world as real as history and as marvelous as legend.
