Beneath the ruins of a forgotten kingdom, something ancient stirs.
Marena Isolyth returns to the shattered halls of her childhood-a palace once lit by festival lanterns, now darkened by ash and silence. But memory isn't the only thing waiting in the dust. Beneath the stone lies a pulsing artifact... one her grandfather unearthed long ago on a doomed expedition. One that speaks.
As shadows rise and the dead begin to whisper, Marena discovers her family's bloodline is tied to a force older than time-a king who was never buried, only locked away.
And the lock... is her.
What follows is a descent through memory, betrayal, and fire-where the line between savior and monster blurs, and the only way forward is through the past. With the fate of Valthoria hanging by a thread, Marena must decide: will she burn for the kingdom that forgot her? Or become the flame that consumes it?
A haunting fantasy of legacy, grief, and ancient power, The Flame Beneath the Throne is perfect for readers who love dark mysteries, forgotten ruins, and the slow, creeping dread of something waking beneath your feet.
