Widowed, unwanted, and running out of chances, Eldvera rows toward the volcanic isle of Vulcaria in search of an impossible prize: a phoenix egg whose shell can brew miracles. With enough of it, she could buy her freedom, secure her future, and maybe heal the deepest regret her marriage left behind.

But Vulcaria does not burn for her alone.

Azhmiron Surtrion, Third Scion of one of the most feared Firekin bloodlines, arrives on the back of a Fire Drake to claim the egg for his family’s legacy. He is massive, arrogant, maddeningly honorable, and far too tempting for a woman who cannot afford to want him.

When the Askar’s soldiers descend on the island, Eldvera and Azhmiron are forced into an uneasy alliance. She calls him pompous. He names her Flicker, a spark too stubborn to die. But between fiery banter, deadly rivals, molten rivers, and a treasure that is not what it seems, their race for the egg becomes something far more dangerous than survival.

Desire was not part of the bargain.
Neither was mercy.

But when the truth about the phoenix egg is revealed, Eldvera and Azhmiron must choose between the prize they came to claim and the life that prize would destroy.

In the heart of Vulcaria’s flames, love is not the fire that consumes.
It is the one worth protecting.

Flicker & the Fire Scion is a spicy romantasy novella filled with rivals-to-lovers tension, fiery banter, dangerous bargains, volcanic adventure, and a battle-hardened Fire Scion who may be less ruthless than his bloodline demands.

Contains mature themes, sensual intimacy, and the emotional weight of fantasy love stories where hearts are tested and happily ever afters are earned.
