The Flame Which Chose Me is a steampunk-inspired epic of shadow, fire, and fate, set in the molten heart of a world forgotten by the sun. Deep beneath the surface, in the forge-lit city of Emberweld, the Shadowkin live in silence-connected by mind, shaped by tradition, and bound to the sacred flame that gives them purpose. Zhaedra, a gifted metalwright with a haunted past, was never meant to be chosen. But when the Ashzhaar-a sentient, ancient force worshipped by her people-awakens within her, it ignites a chain of events that could unravel Emberweld's fragile peace. As tensions rise between faith and progress, Zhaedra must decide what it means to bear power in a world that never wanted her to have it. Hunted by zealots, and driven by a truth buried in molten glass and ash, she must forge her own destiny-before the city that raised her crumbles into ruin.
