here Trust Burns and Legends Ignite
In the medieval kingdom of Thravaena, a story unlike any told before ignites.
At six, Aelayas Argale is heir to a throne under siege, as political intrigue festers within the royal house.
Luchina, denied her crown for being a woman, masks her ambition behind motherhood, her will unbroken.
Monnard, the king’s second son, uncovers a secret and flees into rebellion, chasing justice.
Mirovič, Commander of Barrahann Bridge, fights to save a crumbling realm.
Milaena, a teenage girl, is forced to marry a man she loathes. But her true love is the one she can never have. Could her guardian, the knight Sir Sven Rollstor, fill that void? Is she chasing a forbidden love or merely a mirage?
"Meynard leaned in, eyes slipping shut, and pressed his lips to hers. A faint tickle sparked, spreading through her body in a flash. His hand found her waist—gentle enough to draw her in, firm enough to sway her on her feet."
The iron-tight focus of Reynard Wendter is shattered by the biting lips of Yasmin. For a moment, the son of the most powerful man in the kingdom falters under the spell of two beautiful women. Is it love? Or just lust?
"Yasmin haunted him—those coin-edge eyes, that bitten lip, cutting through every move he’d made today."
"He buried his face in Vynra’s softness, mouthed her skin, drew gasps and pleas—but it was Yasmin’s arch he saw, Yasmin’s pull that dragged him under. A phantom he couldn’t outrun."
As betrayals burn and bedtime legends come alive, an ancient threat rises. Thravaena’s fate hangs by a forgotten flame.
Praise for this book
The Last of the Fire Lilies is an amazing, character-driven book that really pulls you in. It's beautifully written, with words that feel like poetry but still hit you right in the heart. The story follows six different points of view, and somehow it all flows together perfectly, like the author wove them into one big, moving picture. The writing style is so unique, mixing vivid descriptions with honest, emotional dialogue that makes you feel everything the characters are going through. This book sticks with you long after you finish it, and the characters feel like real people you won't forget. If you love stories with deep emotions and great writing, you need to read this.
It's brilliantly written. The concept of eternity becoming life feels so fresh and it reminded me of Eastern mythology. I like how individual decisions shape the characters fates and outcome, especially Luchina and Mirovič. I feel for Ellianne and also for Monnard (and for Eynnard in a very odd way like he deserved more). Reynard gives off Tyrion Lannister vibes, but in a different way. Milaena’s arc is interesting but I thought it’d resonate better with the younger generation more and Aelayas is special, very very special. It’s a great read, and I wonder whether this is another gem of a book overlooked by readers. Writers often get multi-POV storytelling wrong, but in TLOFL, the voices shift seamlessly with each point of view. Very rarely writers deliver on their promise, but this one delivered solid. And I give a solid 5 for this. No hesitation.
