The Seventh Flame of Aevaryn

The prophecy named six. He wasn't one of them.

Aira Nakashima has spent four years surviving grief quietly - training alone, keeping her hands busy so her mind doesn't have to sit still. Then the sky tears open above her family's dojo, and she falls into Aevaryn, a kingdom that has been waiting for seven prophesied champions to save it from a darkness stirring beyond the Veil.

Six strangers fall beside her, marked with ancient elemental power: fire, water, earth, wind, light, shadow.

Corin falls too. He bleeds like the others. Fights like the others.

He is marked by nothing at all.

As Aira and her five companions come into their power, the kingdom that summoned all seven of them quietly decides what Corin isn't - and something far older and more patient is more than willing to tell him exactly who he could be instead.

The Seventh Flame of Aevaryn is a story about the people prophecies forget, the found family who chooses to stand in the gap a kingdom left open, and the cost of power offered too kindly.
