Fall of Fire

By Shirley Parabia and Shirley Siaton

This is the special prose-only collection of the first and second books of the groundbreaking Fire and Tide series, 'Fire of Courage' (May 2023) and 'Heart of Courage' (March 2025).

I am not their savior. My name is Uryana. I am thirteen cycles old, from the Baraw tribe of the Sa-Babaw peaks. One cycle ago, I was chosen to face the Serpent of Fire, the same beast that devoured my people's land and killed my father. I fought, and I survived.But survival is not peace. The Tutod has died-the eternal flame that guards our tribe, now gone. The Elders believe it is a sign. They have sent me beyond the mountains to seek answers in a land not my own. There, I find a tide that does not yield. There, I find him.I am not a king. My name is Lihum. I am thirteen cycles old, son of Datu Garab and the ruler of Laksay. The crown was never meant to be mine, but I wear it all the same. The tides have begun to rise. The Korakoa pirates haunt our waters. Something deep stirs beneath the sea, older than any of us remember. I sought wisdom. I found a girl from the mountains. A girl I have seen before. A girl who burns like a promise in the storm. And together-we may be all that's left to stop the coming flood.
