The Elemental Trilogy begins with The Burning Sky (2013), where Iolanthe Seabourne discovers she can summon lightning, a power that makes her both valuable and hunted. She is whisked away by Prince Titus of Elberon, who believes she is the prophesied one who can defeat the tyrannical Bane. The story mixes elemental magic with a Victorian-era English boarding school setting.
The series continues with The Perilous Sea (2014) and concludes with The Immortal Heights (2015). Throughout the trilogy, Thomas builds a layered magical world with its own rules and history, while keeping the focus on the growing relationship between Iolanthe and Titus as they face increasingly dangerous challenges.
