In the wake of the brutal and unforgiving wintry war of Hrimfjall Spire, Oryn, a retired warrior, finds his world shattered on one fateful night when his home is consumed by flames. Desperate to save his family, he plunges into the inferno, but the fire swallows them all-leaving Oryn broken, burned, and alone.
But the flames are not done with him.
When Oryn encounters a creature of pure fire -- an elemental spirit in the form of a small, fragile girl... his heart, torn by grief and guilt, demands he act. The town, blind to her innocence, is set on ending her life, blaming her for the destruction she's caused. In a moment of compassion, he intervenes. He adopts her, naming her, and promises to guide her through a world that sees only the danger in her, never the lost soul beneath the flames.
A story of love, loss, and the unlikely bond between a tragic veteran and a flame-born child, Emberborn is a poignant tale of healing in the ashes of tragedy, and the lengths one man will go to for a second chance at family.
An Author's Note to Ongoing Readers:
Updates will be released every SUNDAY, because as an incredibly immature man I find this IMMENSELY amusing. I will not promise to announce if I accidentally miss a week, but I will promise to post an announcement if Emberborn needs to be put on hiatus or discontinued.
Happy Reading!

White Lies
"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive.
