The Kingdom of Valon is besieged. Conflict simmers on the northern border, while millions of refugees from a dead world of Earth spark unrest from within. Prince Mwanza Hachibambo is the heir to the throne, but he feels like a prisoner. Locked away due to his volatile magic, he watches his kingdom rot from the inside. But when a train robbery exposes a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power, Mwanza is dragged into a shadowy war he isn't prepared for.

He must confront threats that defy understanding and prove that the Conquering Sun's legacy will not be setting.

The flame has split. The flame has chosen. Zariah Baptiste is no longer just the heir of Nyah Sungbo or the keeper of ancestral fire-she is Nia'tari, the Flame That Chooses. But creation is never without consequence. As her power evolves, so too does the darkness that once slumbered beneath the earth. A new threat rises-Veyra, born from the fire Zariah tried to forget. She is vengeance without memory. A future corrupted before it could even begin. Across continents, names vanish from history. Elders fall silent. And deep in a salt-cracked temple, something older than gods watches with hunger in its golden eye. Now, Nia'tari must face the shadow of her own becoming, protect Ayika-the last Firstborn-and confront the cost of choosing creation over destruction. Because the fire no longer just remembers... It dreams. And dreams, once awakened, can burn the world clean.

Long before memory was carried in fire and bloodlines ruled with sigils, there was only Form-and the girl who dared to name it. Sungbo was born with no House, no lineage, and no right to the power she carried. In a village that feared flame and punished questions, she was marked as cursed. But when the fire called her name-and she called back-it awakened something ancient: memory, magic, and a truth older than the Seven Houses. Banished and hunted, Sungbo builds a new Circle of the Unclaimed: children abandoned by legacy, forgotten by blood, but chosen by the flame. As her power grows, so does the threat-because those in power don't fear her strength. They fear what she remembers. This is the untold beginning. Of root and fire. Of rebellion and return. Of the girl who didn't inherit the flame- she became it.

The Sword of Psyrena has been found in an ancient tomb by a group of adventurers and they have returned it to the temple of Metrequia in the Holy City of Kost, but where is the avatar of Psyrena?

He finds a possible candidate in the young Sama in the far away land of Bassia south of Al-Kazar. But convincing her to come to Korovia in the far north won't be easy, and neither will getting there. Meanwhile a warlord has assassinated the royal family of Korovia and the kingdom is in a state of civil war. If ever there was a time when the paladins needed the reincarnation of Psyrena now is definitely that time. This Heroic Fantasy / AfroFantasy by Charles Moffat is the first in a trilogy.
