In a realm of fire and magic, Maya discovers she is more than human - she is a flame, destined to be the twin of Ashvel, the god of fire. Torn from her world and reborn in Ba'karan, Maya must learn to harness her powers as she and Ashvel fall deeply in love. But dark forces threaten their happiness when the villainous Maladahr kidnaps their newborn daughter Nina.
Through death and rebirth, Maya rises like a phoenix, more powerful than ever. She and Ashvel embark on an epic quest across burning forests and misty swamps to rescue Nina. Along the way, Maya embraces her destiny as a goddess and protector of Ba'karan.
In a fiery final battle, Maya vanquishes Maladahr and is reunited with her beloved child. The flames of Ba'karan are calmed, and Maya, Ashvel and Nina look forward to a bright future together. But in the shadows, ancient magic stirs, hinting at new adventures to come in this mystical world of gods and fire.

" Jessie G. -- ★★★★★
"Such an interesting, and different, fantasy story. We start out in our human world with some very realistic dreams, and end up in a different world where people are actually flames. The problem is this world is burning, and our FMC is the only one who can save it from Maladahr with the God of Flames. Information that shouldn’t be getting out, is.. how could Maladahr possibly be getting this info? Read and find out! A fast paced story with decent character development, and good storyline, I really enjoyed and recommend :)" Kerri G. -- ★★★★☆
"This one was a wild ride. Maya is in an abusive relationship, but is rescued by her two best friends. Then, she's transported to an entire other world by the fire demon from her dreams....what did she drink last night? Nothing, because this is all real.
Maya is thrown into a world with Ashvel, and her two best friends know all about this world of fire, and that they all came from there in the first place. Finding out that her two best friends and her sister knew all of this, and didn't tell her....that alone was enough to turn her world upside down, and then add to it that she's fated to be the matching flame to Ashvel in order to save the entire realm?
Maya and Ashvel become close quickly, and she accepts her role in saving them all, despite the risk to her. To prevent a future the stars have foretold, Maya and Ashvel must fight to keep their power, and to keep the flames consuming their world under control. Yet at every turn, fate seems pitted against them. The twists in this were so spectacularly done, I don't think I saw any of them coming. I need to know what happens next!" Kristie W. -- ★★★★☆
