Prodigy of Flame

 "As the veil lifts away from the mysteries of Connor’s wonderful feature follow-up, readers will be treated to some of the most endearing relationships in fantasy. Prodigy of Flame is at times both cozy and chaotic, and it is that calculated juxtaposition that makes the story a breezy read, even with its considerable content." Michael DeAngelo author of the Tellest Series

In a world plunged into darkness, the untapped power of one woman emerges as a beacon of hope.

Kaci, an apprentice to the guardian of the sacred Arba Vitae, has always felt out of place. Feared for her volatile power – especially her unpredictable fire – she finds comfort only with the Arba Vitae and her animal companions. But during the solstice gathering, the torment and humiliation she faces ignite a disastrous fire, cementing her as her village’s pariah.
Following this calamity, Kaci embarks on a quest into the uncharted. "Prodigy of Flame" chronicles her journey through a realm where ancient prophecies intertwine with looming darkness. As portals spring up across Elyndris, she confronts a harrowing truth: these gateways usher in malevolent forces, corrupting the land and its denizens. To combat this, Kaci allies with three unexpected friends: Micah, a stranger burdened by his past; Belan, the sagacious kin of the Earthborn King; and Lady Durya, a dignified orc with human titles.

Their bond brings warmth to Kaci's solitary life. Navigating treacherous landscapes, she uncovers latent abilities and a radiance she never knew she possessed. Yet as the encroaching shadows intensify, her mission evolves. It’s no longer just about survival but a test of courage, a quest to rediscover her roots, and an awakening of the flame within.
