Maren spent a lifetime guarding the world's final divine kindling—the Ember of Memory—sacrificing name and identity to protect it. Betrayed by a desperate false hero and burned alive, Maren makes a dying pact with the ember itself: to be reborn as the flame. Now they are the very thing they protected, a sentient spark trapped in a forgotten lantern, hunted by the one who stole their legacy. With the help of a disgraced historian who wants to restore erased truths, Maren must reclaim their stolen birthright—not for revenge, but to undo a cosmic lie before the ember's power erases the world's memory entirely.
