As the island unravels and a war long buried reignites, Orien must master a lost flame within himself, one tied to Velathi prophecy and a legacy of sacrifice. But the power that could save both his people and theirs might also destroy them.
When the Flame Wakes will appeal to readers of Tasha Suri's The Burning Kingdoms and Brian Staveley's Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, offering a blend of haunting mythology, slow-burn transformation, and high-stakes political intrigue.
