The Dark Flame

De: Alexander Gui

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A village pyre. A storm that won’t obey. A girl the land itself won’t let burn.

When eighteen-year-old Isolde watches two “witches” marched to the stake, the flames die—and something older than prayer wakes in her blood. Overnight she goes from nobody to a name whispered by priests and princes. Hunted by creed and crown, she’s pulled into a hidden world of living forests, oathbound magic, and powers that ask for more than they give.

But in Eldoria, power is never neutral. As sermons sharpen into swords and court masks hide older games, Isolde’s rise draws eyes from the shadows—some hungry, some hopeful. An unlikely circle gathers at her side, bound by choice rather than blood, even as a quiet, slow-burn love refuses to stay out of the fight. To save the people who’ve claimed her as their own, Isolde must decide what kind of flame she’ll be: the spark that burns it all down…or the light that leads them home.

The Dark Flame is romantic, mythic fantasy about found family, chosen destiny, and the price of mercy in a world that mistakes fear for faith. Expect lush magic, courtly intrigue, witch-trial dread, knife-edge battles, and a romance that smolders before it blazes—told with the sweep of an epic and the intimacy of a tale whispered by firelight.

If you love sweeping romantasy, forest-haunted worlds, and heroines who earn every ounce of their power, start reading The Dark Flame today.
