Air Awakens (Air Awakens #1) by Elise Kova

For fans of slow-burn romance and elemental magic, Air Awakens has been described as Throne of Glass meets Avatar the Last Airbender.

The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic hidden in the unassuming library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war.

Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all — the Crown Prince Aldrik — she finds herself pulled into his world of magic and secrets.

As a forbidden royal romance blooms, she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she's known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she's always been. With powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla's indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined.

This five book, completed series is perfect for readers looking for an epic fantasy, filled with slow burn romance, elemental magic, and adventure wrapped in a coming of age tale of a young woman finding her powers.
