Publisher's Synopsis
The Flame and The Stone
Book One in the Legacy of the Flame Series
"I am more than the fire. I am the flame that endures."
Nyoka was born with fire in her veins, a power as beautiful as it is dangerous. Marked as one of the Ember-Touched, she is feared by those who worship the stone and cast out by the village she once called home. Her flame whispers of ancient truths, of a destiny bound to the heart of Ishilombe-the living mountain whose fire burns brighter than legends dare to tell.
When a dark order of priests rises, determined to smother Ishilombe's flame forever, Nyoka is thrust into a journey of trials, betrayals, and sacrifice. Guided by an ember-lit path and shadowed by secrets she cannot yet see, Nyoka must confront not only the enemies who hunt her but the fire within that threatens to consume her soul.
Torn between a world that rejects her and the power that defines her, Nyoka begins to walk the fine line between hero and monster. But fire does not ask permission to burn, and legends are not made by those who yield.
A spellbinding Afro-fantasy inspired by African mythology, biblical allegory, and the spirit of stories like Wicked and The Lion King, The Flame and The Stone is perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi's Children of Blood and Bone and Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes.
Rich in lyrical prose, epic battles, and unforgettable characters, this is a tale of power, identity, and a girl's fight to be more than the world would let her become.
"The fire destroys, but it also heals. And in its embers, something new is born."
