Velka Solvaine has been blessed. A loving family. A respected name. A place within the Republic. And faith strong enough to carry her through anything. She knows there is a God. She knows there is a Promised Land. And she knows that death is nothing to fear when paradise waits on the other side. So Velka smiles often. She laughs loudly, loves deeply, and carries herself with the peculiar certainty of someone who has never once wondered whether the voice guiding her might be wrong. There are things House Solvaine does not speak of. Prayers whispered behind closed doors. Names that disappear from ledgers. Bodies that are never found. To Velka, none of it is strange. Faith has never required an explanation. Only obedience. But what happens when the faithful begin to question? What happens when the path to paradise leads somewhere it shouldn't? And what becomes of a woman who has built her entire existence around God... when her faith is shattered? Before the Republic knew what House Solvaine truly was. Before Dhar. Before Deryk Mustaf. Before the woman she would one day become- there was Eden.

Unya Valenhart has always known exactly who she is. A warrior. A lightning wielder. A woman who has never needed permission to take up space. But when strange changes begin taking hold of her body-an impossible appetite, unnatural heat, growing strength, and something unfamiliar stirring beneath her skin-Unya is forced to return home in search of answers. Her uncle Oscar has a name for what's happening. Atavism. An ancient trait buried within the Valenhart bloodline, usually awakened in childhood. Usually. As Unya's transformation progresses, one question becomes increasingly difficult to ignore: Why now? Some things are inherited. Others are merely waiting to wake. Atavism is an Ember from the world of Burn It With Fire, following Unya Valenhart beyond the events of the main story.

The first Ember from the world of Burn It With Fire. The war is over. Dhar is free. Deryk Mustaf is married, surrounded by the people he loves, and finally has a home of his own. There's just one problem. Everyone needs the Warchief. Requests. Complaints. Problems. Responsibilities. And apparently, being Warchief means peace and quiet are privileges Deryk no longer possesses. So he does the only reasonable thing. He leaves. What begins as one exhausted young man's attempt to escape his responsibilities becomes a reminder that sometimes the people who spend their lives carrying everyone else need somewhere to put the weight down, too. Embers are shorter stories set within the Burn It With Fire series-smaller flames that explore the characters, relationships, humor, and moments between the fires that shape the main saga. Welcome to the first Ember: No Rest for the Warchief.

Burn It With Fire is an epic fantasy following Deryk, a young mage born with a single magical affinity: fire. In a world where most mages command multiple elements, those limited to one are dismissed as weak, incomplete, or destined for mediocrity. Branded an outsider before he's given the chance to prove himself, Deryk enters the prestigious Academy of Yornia determined to earn his place. What he doesn't know is that his very existence defies everything the world believes to be true. As friendships are forged and rivalries ignite, Deryk finds himself caught between political intrigue, deep-rooted prejudice, and secrets surrounding his own heritage. The mysterious power growing within him refuses to obey the rules of magic, forcing him to question everything he has been taught about strength, weakness. But power without understanding is dangerous. With every battle, Deryk must learn to master the flames within before they consume everything he fights to protect. Along the way, he discovers that true strength isn't found in having no weaknesses-it's found in recognizing them, accepting them, and choosing who you become despite them. Burn It With Fire is a story of identity, resilience, friendship, sacrifice, and the courage to rise above fear and prejudice in a world determined to define you before you can define yourself.
