About the Book

Child of the Flames launches The Seven Signs with fire, blood, and betrayal.

When the Galanian Empire descends upon House Llewan, Shawna watches her family slaughtered in their own hall. Her world burns in a single night, leaving her with nothing but grief, rage, and the family heirloom the invaders were searching for. That relic, an ancient fragment of the Nar’doroc, marks her for death—and for destiny.

Hunted by soldiers and conspirators, Shawna flees into a world where politics are as lethal as swords and sorcery is feared as much as it is coveted. Her path collides with exiled warlocks, mercenaries, and a mysterious child whose power could reshape the fate of nations. Together, they are drawn into a struggle over the Nar’doroc, a shattered superweapon of the gods whose seven pieces grant dominion over fire, water, air, earth, body, mind, and wisdom.

As shadows close in, Shawna must transform from a grieving noblewoman into something harder—a weapon forged in fire. But vengeance carries a cost, and the line between justice and destruction blurs with every drop of blood spilled.

Fast-paced, cinematic, and steeped in intrigue, Child of the Flames is both a gripping standalone and the beginning of a sweeping dark fantasy epic. It’s a story of broken empires, conspiracies in the dark, and flawed, desperate people struggling to seize power before it consumes them.
