Finding Wildfire

Fear is the only currency in Clan Blackwood.

Elara Blackwood has spent her life following the rules of the manor: keep your head down, your secrets buried, and your magic hidden. In a world where the Master of the House, Julian, dictates every movement and enforces a suffocating “protection” over the village, safety is a fragile illusion.

But the cracks are showing.

When Elara discovers a mysterious, light-eating book, she begins to see the truth hidden in plain sight. Her grandmother’s fading health, her brother’s constant punishment, and the strange, ashen stains left in the wake of their master are not accidents. They are evidence of a siphon—a theft of life and spirit orchestrated by the man they call their protector.
As Elara awakens to the truth, she must find the strength to challenge a villain who consumes everything he touches. To save her family, she will need more than just hope; she will need to master the fire burning in her own blood.

Finding Wildfire is a story of breaking cages, hidden histories, and the desperate, dangerous act of claiming your own power.
