Flame of Destiny

By Boris Kennes

In the year 200 AD, hidden among snowy crags is a secret fortress city, the last bastion against the savage nomads from the grasslands to the north. Here, young Samira, a girl of iron will and keen wit is forged in the crucible of martial life. Her fight for freedom is fraught with danger, as she is trapped in the Underdeep.

Elsewhere, a Kurdish warrior queen yearns for recognition from the Persian Shah after a decade of relentless struggle. Yet, her dream of peace is shattered as war calls her to arms once more. Meanwhile, a Greek scholar from the storied halls of Alexandria seeks a tranquil twilight of life, only to find himself entangled in the sinister intrigues of the ruthless Roman emperor, Caracalla.

As we journey with Samira and a cast of valiant heroes, we are plunged into the most tumultuous era history has ever seen. From the shadowy northern forests, wild tribes emerge, clashing with the indomitable warriors of the steppes. Great empires lock horns in a deadly dance of power, while new faiths and ancient sects vie for spiritual dominion. Yet, in this epic saga, where history and myth intertwine, the greatest peril may lie in the magical unseen world beneath the mountains.
