He was not chosen by the Flame—and that truth defines everything. At nineteen, he trains within the Order of the Cinder Veil, a guild devoted to guarding the ancient Flame and shaping witches strong enough to defend it. The Flame is alive in a way no spell can replicate. It tests, reacts, and, when the time comes, selects a single Keeper to bond with it fully. He is not that person.

And if the day comes when the Keeper falls, when the Flame is threatened, or when the chosen fail to stand
