By Krystal Wade
“There is no pain in this death, only peace, knowing I am going to die with the one I love the most.”—Katriona Wilde.
Katriona Wilde has never wondered what it would feel like to have everything she’s ever known and loved ripped away, but she is about to find out.
When she inadvertently leads her sister and best friend through a portal into a world she’s dreamed of for six years, she finds herself faced with more than just the frightening creatures in front of her. Kate’s forced to accept a new truth: her entire life has been a lie, and those closest to her have betrayed her.
What’s worse, she has no control over her new future, and it’s full of magic and horrors from which nightmares are made.
Will Kate discover and learn to control who she really is in time to save the ones she loves, or will all be lost?

Web Reviews
“Wilde’s Fire is a truly engaging story that will hold your attention until the very end. The book brings together a nice blend of young love, magic, sword fighting, prophecies and a very scary evil foe. All three books are now out in this trilogy, so this is the perfect time to get caught up in the story”

“This is one of those books that make me want to rant, yell at the characters and pick up the next book ASAP—we are left hanging big time in the end of this book and I can not wait until to get my hands on Wilde’s Army!”

And, of course, we follow the growing relationship between Kate and Arland…a relationship that is tested here as never before. The war has begun and Kate is in the center of it all!”

~Tyler-Rose Neath @ The Reading Pile (
)“The story was magical and beautiful all at once. The worlds created by Krystal Wade sound amazingly beautiful at least before darkness got a hold of it, but goodness and light will prevail, they just have to. The bath alone sounds like an enchanting place full of nature and ambiance. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book and to see what new evil creatures the author will create. Very much recommended.”

It had everything I LOVE in a story: action, romance-ah, Arland, sigh-and most of all a MC who’s head and voice I genuinely enjoyed.”

~Sated Faery ()
~Sated Faery (
)“For those of you that love good world-building, I would recommend this book. The daemons, the magical animals, the different humanoid races…they are partly clichés, but Krystal Wade had put a spin on these old fantasy tropes. For a first time writer, she really does have amazing world-building. Heck, she’s better than most experienced writers when it comes to world-building.”
~Carrie Slager ()
~Carrie Slager (

~Sarah E. Inserra ()
~Sarah E. Inserra (
)“This book was awesome. I was skeptical as I started it. I mean, a boy sleeping in your room with your parents down the hall isn’t realistic. Once the book got rolling though, I became more enchanted with it.”
~Andrea Heltsley ()
~Andrea Heltsley (
)“Kate’s dreams were all that I was hoping for in this novel or at least the promising beginnings of what I had hoped for. I was hooked. I wanted more and more. And that is exactly what Krystal Wade, the author, delivered. Right up into the point where these dreams became reality, the moment I had been excitedly waiting for.”
~Typing Tiara ()
~Typing Tiara (
)“OMG!! Talk about a shocking, surprising, devastating, WHAT the HECK (as they say in Utah) ending!! I knew it would have something big, but I did not expect what did happen. I am going to be stalking the author waiting for the next book!”
~Sara @ Goodreads ()
~Sara @ Goodreads (
)“Overall, I found Wilde’s Fire to be an enjoyable and entertaining read from debut author, Krystal Wade. It had all the elements of high fantasy with a tinge of sci-fi thrown in by transporting the main character Katriona (Kate) Wilde to another world via a portal she and her sister and best friend were lead to during a camping trip.”
~Reading Lark ()
~Reading Lark (

~Jasmine @ Goodreads ()
~Jasmine @ Goodreads (
)“This is a book where I don’t want to give a single detail away because even an iota of extra information will ruin the process of discovery. This book is beyond stellar. The world that Krystal Wade introduces us to in Wilde’s Fire will lead you on an adventure of fantasy and romance with evil forces coming out to play.”

~Chrystina @ Goodreads (
)“The story has everything. There’s love, betrayal, friendship and evil at play. The task at hand, Kate’s destiny, seems almost insurmountable yet because of the connection I felt with the characters, I was left believing anything is possible. And I love when a book does that to me.”
~BookHookup @ Goodreads ()
~BookHookup @ Goodreads (

~Martha D. @ Goodreads (
)“When everything you’ve known is ripped away, it is then the fight for survival really begins. Krystal Wade’s world of war, prophecy, and darkness takes readers on a twisting journey where the fate of a people is at stake and, through courage and faith, love and peace are the ultimate reward… If you’re a fan of YA fantasy, look no further than Krystal Wade’s debut novel WILDE’S FIRE.”
~Sarah Ballance @ Goodreads ()
~Sarah Ballance @ Goodreads (
)“I love this book. Newbie author, Krystal Wade has a winner here! This solid 4 star story has everything: magic, romance, intrigue — oh, and did I mention sword fights? Written in present tense, first person, Wade’s style is a welcome change from many of the books out there. Ms. Wade has envisioned a world full of darkness where the only light comes from the hope of the characters and the growing romance between Kate and Arland. The storyline is well thought out and by the end of the story, you’ll be wishing the next book was already out.”
