The Everburning City

by Kris Branham

Overview

A Dark Fantasy of Fire, Fate, and Forgotten Gods

Every night the city burns. Every morning it is reborn. Only she remembers.

Danan walks through ash and memory. Marked by magic and hunted by fire that lives, breathes, and hungers, she alone recalls the curse that consumes the city of Ignis each night-and the wyvern-shaped flame that whispers her name.

But Danan isn't the only one chasing ghosts.

Far from the cursed capital, a fractured band of outcasts is sent to capture a mythical beast whose heart could tip the balance of power. Among them: Finlay, a war-weary lord haunted by celestial power; Lukas, a reckless soldier marked by runes he doesn't remember getting; and Rankin, a quiet warrior with secrets carved into his soul.

As their paths converge in a kingdom where magic is as deadly as steel, Danan must face the truth: the fire isn't just calling her-it's becoming her.

And the city?
It wants to burn again.
