The Purifying Flame

Heir to a dying noble house, Elin shatters his engagement to an abusive fiancé and awakens a forbidden power, the Purifying Flame. Desperate to escape his family's control, he storms the tower of Duke Cedric, the most feared sorcerer in the realm and his ex-fiancé's own uncle. What begins as a transaction, a soul-bound contract between two strangers, ignites into something neither expected. As Elin masters his volatile flame under Cedric's ruthless tutelage, an ancient threat rises: a dragon-born army demands their combined fire as sacrifice to awaken a sleeping god. Together, they must descend into the Dragon Bone Abyss and fuse their opposing flames, or watch the kingdom burn. From a deal made in desperation to a bond forged in dragonfire, two men discover that the most dangerous magic of all is choosing to stay.
