Seventeen-year-old Astrid loses everything when Kaldvig burns.
Her home is destroyed, her family is torn from her, and in the aftermath, an ancient power awakens in her blood.
Marked by a living rune, Astrid discovers she is the bearer of the Forsaken Flame, a force tied to forgotten gods, broken oaths, and a bloodline believed lost to history. Hunted by enemies drawn to the fire within her, she is forced into a dangerous journey through ancient realms, buried secrets, and trials that reveal more about her past than she is ready to face.
At her side stands Skarulf Stormfang, a fierce half- blood shifter sworn to protect the Flamebearer. But as their bond deepens, the danger surrounding Astrid grows stronger.
With the realms beginning to fracture and old powers stirring once more, Astrid must uncover the truth of the Forsaken Flame before it consumes her.
Because the power within her may be the key to saving the world.
Or the fire that destroys it.
