The Dying Flame

Orla has spent her life in hiding.

She's seen what happens to people who break the rules against the use of magic in the Seven Isles, and it's not pretty.

But when her beloved younger sister is imprisoned by the Uruhenshi Brethren, Orla is willing to risk everything to free her.

Even if that means using her forbidden magic.

She discovers her powers run deeper - and darker - than she ever imagined.

Transported in secret to the Royal Court, Orla is sworn to serve the King.

But first she has to stay alive.

Orla finds herself thrust into a dangerous world that her past life in the slums has done nothing to prepare her for.

With the help of new allies, she learns that her power might be the key to defeating the Uruhenshi and restoring the Kingdom.

But then, in a shocking turn of events, Orla's past and present collide, and she must choose between her new-found sense of duty and the vengeance that she longs for.

Will her choice be the spark that burns the Seven Isles?

The Dying Flame, the first book in the Darkfall series, is a gripping dark fantasy court intrigue.
