ECHOES AND AMBERS: THE STARBORN FLAME
Sean Montez has always lived an ordinary life, quiet days, late nights, and a strange fascination with the stars. But when a near-fatal accident leaves him blind, something inside him begins to awaken.
A flicker of heat.
A whisper in the dark.
A past that refuses to stay buried.
As dreams of a silver-haired woman haunt his sleep, Sean is pulled into a hidden world of witches, covens, and ancient magic. A world his grandmother tried to keep him safe from. A world that already took his parents.
Now, the truth burns brighter than ever.
He is not just human.
He is the last heir of a powerful bloodline, one born from silver and flame.
But power comes with a price.
Akim Fuego, a ruthless leader consumed by fire and obsession, has been waiting for Sean's awakening. And he will stop at nothing to claim or destroy the one person who could surpass him.
Caught between love and destiny, Sean must navigate dangerous alliances, forbidden feelings, and a war between covens that threatens to consume everything.
Because in a world where fire devours and echoes never fade,
some flames are meant to rise...
and some are meant to burn everything to ash.
