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.All Rights Reserved

An orphan girl with nothing to her name, drawn into a deadly trial meant only for the powerful and the privileged. The Rite of Voltaris chooses its own, and once chosen, there is no escape.

MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE by TeeRexTales

The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

Flameborn by MythosandMagic

"She was never meant to exist. That's what makes her unstoppable." Abandoned as a child. Forged by shadows. Chosen by a god she never knew. Vireya Nocturne has spent her life surviving alone, unwanted, and unaware of the power burning inside her. Born with a single silver strand in her hair and strange green eyes, she's always felt different. When she and her panther companion flee their quiet village, a hidden cave becomes a doorway to a realm no mortal should enter: Nyxvane, a kingdom of living shadow ruled by a forgotten god. There, Vireya awakens a power older than the gods themselves-a divine flame buried deep in her blood. As monsters rise from the depths of the Forgotten Realm, and secrets from her past unravel, she discovers the unthinkable truth: the shadow-god who watches her is not just her ally. He is her father. Torn between two worlds and hunted by an ancient enemy who devours forgotten things, Vireya must wield her sword, master her flame, and decide once and for all: Will she become the queen of a realm reborn... Or the weapon that reshapes all the realms? Flameborn is a high-fantasy coming-of-age saga of found power, hidden legacy, and the bonds that even prophecy can't predict.

Embers Across the Veil by romantacyreader13

Bound by Thread and Flame Book One: Embers Across the Veil In a world stitched together by ancient portals and perilous magic, one girl's arrival begins to unravel everything. Misty thought escaping to the Academy would bring answers-about her gift, her mother's secrets, and the threads that whisper in her blood. But magic doesn't mend quietly, and neither do hearts. As Misty grapples with a power she barely understands, she draws the attention of Jacob, a brilliant time scholar obsessed with patterns-and the future. Watching from the shadows is Tabitha, a hybrid advocate with secrets of her own and an uncanny talent for spotting danger before it takes root. All three are drawn together by a portal that should never have opened... and a connection none of them saw coming. And something on the other side is pulling.

Ritualistic by DrokharNantang

Aetherion was never meant to change the world only to uphold it. As a scion of the Dragon Clan, his life was one of discipline, firebound rituals, and the unshakable weight of duty. Bound by generations of tradition and sharpened by years of training, he knew the path laid before him. Or so he thought. But ancient forces have begun to stir. Whispers echo through the old stones. The magic that once answered with grace now moves with unrest. As shadows creep beyond the borders of understanding, Aetherion is thrust into a journey he never asked for one where certainty crumbles, allies arrive in the unlikeliest of forms, and the very essence of what he believes must be challenged. In a world shaped by power and bound by purpose, one choice can set the flames of change or destruction into motion. And when tradition begins to fracture, only one question remains: will you stand in the ashes, or rise from them?

The Ember Throne by Rkemsi

When fire fades, shadows rise-and only a heart split in two can save the world. Kaelen never wanted to be chosen. But when a dying flame sparks inside him, he's thrust into a crumbling world where fire is more than power-it's life itself. The Tree of Embers is dying. The Hollow is rising. And the ancient Flamebearers have vanished into legend. Until now. Lira, a mysterious girl with shadows in her blood, saves Kaelen from death-only to reveal she may be part of the darkness consuming their world. Together, they must find the lost sparks, face cursed Emberborn, and unravel secrets buried in ash and time. But the deeper they go, the more Kaelen burns from within-and the more Lira realizes that love and loyalty may cost her everything. And when the final spark demands a sacrifice... Will fire save the world-or destroy what's left of it?

After the destruction of the obelisk and the hard-won victory over the Shadowborn, Aeryn Emberborn and her allies return to the Drakyn stronghold, battered but resolute. Yet the shard in Aeryn's chest warns of a deeper darkness-a presence watching and waiting in the farthest reaches of the unknown.

But the shadow is evolving, and its true master begins to emerge-a being of unimaginable power and malice. To survive, Aeryn and the Drakyn must not only rely on their fire but also uncover ancient truths buried within their history. With their unity fragile and their strength pushed to its limits, the question looms: will the flame be enough to save them from the inferno ahead? Shadows of the Inferno is the gripping second installment of The Emberborn Saga, a tale of courage, unity, and the battle against an unrelenting darkness. As the stakes rise and the shadow closes in, the fire must burn brighter than ever-or risk being extinguished forever.
