They say, among the whispers of the leaves and the crackling of hearth fires, that it was the fire itself that gave birth to that child. In a small village, a newborn unlike any other was born: he had hair as red as embers, and eyes that seemed to reflect the dawn. No one could remember such a sign. Some trembled, others prayed. But the priestess Eryndelle, guide of the Gods, spoke with a firm voice: that child was a threat. Exiled and cursed, the child was abandoned to the night. Years later, he returned. No longer as a rejected son, but as a being filled with power and darkness. He did not seek revenge-only mercy. In exchange for peace, he demanded a price: each year, one life in sacrifice. A single name, chosen by fate. Time carved that tribute into tradition. Today, millennia later, the young elf Vidalya is among the names gathered for the draw. She does not know that the shadow is watching her. And that history, with her, is about to change. . . . . . .

Book One of the Listening Flame Series In a village that fears her very existence, sixteen-year-old Shalkira-a quiet girl born part-cat, part-magic-lives hidden away with seven siblings in a cottage whispered to be cursed. But when a stranger knocks at their door with promises of a magical school and truths untold, Shalkira's fragile world begins to unravel. As secrets stir in the walls and ancient forces awaken, Shalkira finds herself trapped in a place where illusions bend reality-and where her very identity may be the key to everything. Guided by a watchful fox spirit and haunted by the voice of a house that listens, she must confront buried memories, unravel layers of deception, and choose who she wants to become. But something is hunting her from the shadows-something that remembers her better than she remembers herself. And some flames... are not so easily extinguished. BETTER DISCIPTION: Sixteen-year-old Shalkira has always been different-part human, part cat, and completely misunderstood. Raised in a spooky, half-forgotten cottage with seven siblings and an old man who knows more than he lets on, her life is quiet. Strange. But safe... until a mysterious stranger knocks on their door with promises of magic and danger. Now, whispers from the walls, a school that might not even exist, and a fox spirit watching her dreams drag Shalkira into a world where illusion and memory blur. As secrets unravel, she must face a truth she's not ready to hear: She might be the key to everything. But what if she doesn't want to be? 💭 Themes & Vibes Found family and sibling bonds Mysterious cottage magic A secret language no one understands Soft love & protective friendships Hidden scrolls, illusion traps, and spiritual animal guides Emotional + sensory realism ⚠️ Content Warnings (Handled With Care): Anxiety & sensory overload Emotional trauma Mild fantasy violence Queer identity (trans rep, sapphic romance) Themes of abandonment, betrayal, and self-worth
