An Affinity for Burning

What happens when the girl you loved becomes your enemy? What happens if you still don't want her to be? Bea and Saffyr are among the Affinity-Wielders—a group of girls born once every generation with superhuman abilities. Like all Affinity-Wielders, they spend their childhood hidden away from the rest of the world at the academy training and honing their abilities in order to compete in a series of trials once they reach 18. Four years before the trials are set to begin however, disaster strikes and every other Wielder is left dead. And one of the girls might have been behind it. Now, four years later, they're reunited as enemies to see which one of them will win the trial, a claim the thrown, the ability to keep their power, and the prince's hand in marriage. But what if neither of them want that anymore? Told in 2 POVs, An Affinity for Burning is one giant childhood friends to enemies to friends to childhood crushes back to enemies to friends to lovers trope masquerading as a book with a plot so its author can stop being sad that they're not on Goodreads yet.
