Beneath the Midnight Flames

In the isolated city of Valora, the sky burns with an eternal flame. The people live beneath its glow, believing the flames are a gift from the gods, protecting them from the horrors of the outside world. Every year, the Flame Ceremony is held to honor the burning sky, but what the citizens don't know is that the fire is slowly dying out.

Lyra, a rebellious 18-year-old, has always questioned the stories about the flames. When her brother mysteriously disappears during the Flame Ceremony, she's determined to uncover the truth. While everyone says he was chosen by the gods, Lyra knows he was taken-and she's willing to risk everything to find him.

Venturing into the forbidden underworld beneath the city, Lyra discovers a hidden society that controls the flames and maintains Valora's strict laws. But the deeper she goes, the more she uncovers dark secrets that challenge everything she's ever believed. The flames aren't just dying-they're being extinguished by those in power. And if they go out completely, the entire city will be consumed by the frozen void that lies beyond the walls.

With the help of a mysterious outcast named Kai, who holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the flames, Lyra embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue her brother and stop the fire from going out. But the city's rulers are always one step ahead, and Lyra soon realizes that saving her brother might mean burning down everything she's ever known.

In a world where the flames are life, how far will one girl go to save her family-and herself-before the last light goes out?
