Series Context: The Kindred’s Curse Saga
Heat of the Everflame is the third installment in the Kindred’s Curse Saga. The novel is preceded by the titles Spark of the Everflame and Glow of the Everflame. Spark of the Everflame introduces the reader to the magical world of Emarion—a kingdom where the descendants of gods (called Descended) reign over the mortals. This preliminary title also introduces the protagonist Diem Bellator as she navigates impossible challenges at her home in the Lumnos realm. The novel’s primary storyline sets the overarching narrative stage for the subsequent titles, and establishes the primary characters, conflicts, stakes, and themes of the entire series.
When Spark of the Everflame opens, Diem is living in Lumnos’s Mortal City with her mother Auralie, father Andrei Bellator, and brother Teller Bellator. She has grown up believing that she is mortal. However, since she was a little girl, Auralie has given her a special flameroot powder to stave off Diem’s mysterious hallucinations. When Auralie disappears from home without explanation one day, Diem sets out on a journey to find her mother and solve the riddle of her own identity.
