Heat of the Everflame

Heat of the Everflame by Penn Cole is a high-stakes turning point in The Kindred’s Curse Saga, where war ignites and every choice carries a cost.

The conflict is no longer looming. It has begun. After a disastrous coronation, Diem Bellator is thrust into the centre of a brutal struggle between the Descended and the Guardians. Both sides demand her allegiance, and either choice could be fatal. With the mortals she has sworn to protect on one side and the people she’s grown to care for on the other, Diem must walk a razor-thin line to keep those she loves alive, even when they stand opposed.

As the truth of her unusual heritage begins to surface, Diem and Luther are drawn into an unexpected journey across the realms. The answers they uncover may decide the war’s outcome, but they force Diem to confront painful truths about her mother, her bloodline, and the destiny she can no longer avoid.

With the Crowns watching her every move and enemies closing in from all sides, Diem must learn to separate ally from threat and risk everything to build power of her own. But forces rising in the north threaten to reshape the war entirely.
