Flame-bound: the flame chronicles

a world where power is measured by the strength of one’s flame, the great houses rule through fire. House Solaris commands the blazing Sun Fire, House Drakonis wields the fury of Dragon Flames, House Luminary guards the sacred Healing Flames, and House Noctis commands the feared Smoke and Mist Flames. For centuries, these powers have maintained a fragile balance across the kingdoms...one protected by the Flame Council and enforced through the training grounds of the Ignivar Academy. But Nyra Solaris was born without fire. As the daughter of the most powerful house in the realm, her inability to produce even a spark makes her an embarrassment to her bloodline and a mystery no one can explain. While others summon blazing infernos, Nyra can only do one strange thing: she can redirect the flames of others. Whispers of prophecy begin to stir among the monks of Luminary, who guard an ancient secret written long before the kingdoms were formed...a warning that one day the Phoenix flame, the first and most powerful fire in existence, will return through a child who carries no flame at all. As Nyra enters the Ignivar Academy and the rival houses begin to clash for power, alliances are tested, secrets unravel, and ancient forces awaken. Surrounded by dragon princes, powerful healers, and shadowed smoke wielders, Nyra must uncover the truth of what she really is before the balance of the world collapses. Because the flames are changing. And the girl who cannot create fire may be the one destined to command them all.
