Firewalker

Firewalker by Josephine Angelini, 2015 Fiewel & Friends

     Lilly and Rowan made a successful journey across worlds to Lilly's homeworld. Rowan helped her family put Lilly's broken and burnt body back together. Though she still has her magic, Lilly must hide her power to protect her family.
     The government is investigating Lilly's months-long disappearance. The FBI agent in charge of the investigation isn't the only one fascinated and compelled by Lilly's return. Tristan is angry and upset at how their relationship left off. Rowan is interested in Lilly's Tristan compared to the Tristan from his world - but even better, the information he can access through the internet.
     When Lillian calls across the divide between worlds Lilly responds. Lilly is angry and hurt at the extent of pain her alter-self has inflicted and refuses to return. At home, Lilly begins to recruit a new group of mechanics who help her manage her magic and prevent her from becoming ill.
     Lillian attempts to force Lilly back to the world ruled by witches and imparts revelations which Lilly fights. The romance between Lilly and Rowan grows in the less tense environment of Lilly's world. But when Lillian broadcasts her story Lilly distances herself from her friends and tension grows in the gap. The coven begins to question whether staying safe at home really is the best course of action.
     Following what she believes is right leads Lilly to the great conflict of Firewalker: Lilly's friends clash with their parallel selves in Lillian's world and the expanded team suffers a devastating loss to the coven. This second installment in the Worldwalker Trilogy shows Lilly's growth from fish-out-of-water to the strong and confident leader of her coven which she will need in the ensuing events of Witch's Pyre.
