A forbidden fire. A false god. A girl who was never meant to survive-only to rise. In Irasan, the sun never sets-and neither does the tyranny. Beneath a sky forever burning, Kalila, a young thief from the ash-ruins, steals emberstones just to survive. But one spark ignites a power long forgotten-and marks her as the reborn flame of a god the Fire Priests buried in lies. Now branded a heretic and hunted by a theocracy that fears her, Kalila must confront visions of Apolaki, the true god of the sun, sealed beneath a mountain for crimes he may not have committed. To awaken the world, Kalila must burn through it first. Myth meets rebellion in this Filipino-inspired fantasy filled with divine fire, elemental seals, ancient betrayal, and the rise of a girl who refuses to be extinguished.
