Heat of the Everflame

With the realm of the Descended edging toward open war, Diem Bellator is forced to step into a role far larger and more dangerous than she ever wanted. Old enemies close in, hard-won alliances fracture, and the secrets of her heritage carry consequences that ripple across the kingdoms.

Torn between duty, love, and the ruthless choices that leadership demands, Diem must reckon with what — and whom — she is prepared to lose to protect the people and the cause she has come to hold dear. The magic she once feared is now a weapon others would kill to control.

The third installment of Penn Cole's Kindred's Curse Saga pushes its heroine toward her breaking point, blending high-stakes fantasy politics with a scorching central romance.
