Storm Siren

Author:  Mary Weber
Rating:  3.5
Summary:  In a world at war, a slave girl’s lethal curse could become one kingdom’s weapon of salvation. If the curse—and the girl—can be controlled.
As a slave in the war-weary kingdom of Faelen, seventeen-year-old Nym isn’t merely devoid of rights, her Elemental kind are only born male and always killed at birth — meaning, she shouldn’t even exist.
Standing on the auction block beneath smoke-drenched mountains, Nym faces her fifteenth sell. But when her hood is removed and her storm-summoning killing curse revealed, Nym is snatched up by a court advisor and given a choice: be trained as the weapon Faelen needs to win the war, or be killed.
Choosing the former, Nym is unleashed into a world of politics, bizarre parties, and rumors of an evil more sinister than she’s being prepared to fight . . . not to mention the handsome trainer whose dark secrets lie behind a mysterious ability to calm every lightning strike she summons.
But what if she doesn’t want to be the weapon they’ve all been waiting for?
Sexual content:  There is some intense kissing, but it never goes beyond that.
Violence and gore:  Nym cuts herself in the book, and she- along with others- have dangerous and violent powers.  
Magic:  Nym- and a few other characters- have magical powers
Note:  I have only read the first book, so I don't know anything about the other two
                                 
                            Girls, 13-14 years old, fantasy
