The future of the Syljian race rests in the hands of its greatest enemy.

For two centuries, Syljians have been hunted by the Sorcerers’ Guild. Desperate to procure life-sustaining resources for his people, Syljian Alar Fellman uses his psionic powers to infiltrate the Guild’s ranks as a student of magic.

The Guild’s star prodigy, Daeya McVen, cherishes her friendship with the new student. But Daeya’s secrets far surpass Alar’s inability to penetrate her mind. As she languishes beneath her mentor’s demands, her talent breeds contempt among the elder sorcerers, who crave nothing more than to see her fall.

When a leader of the Syljian resistance is captured, Alar risks his alias to rescue him. But the leader’s prophetic visions allude to a greater threat—one that inextricably ties the fate of Alar’s people to Daeya.

With war looming, and the remnants of an ancient magic returned to the world, one wrong move could spell disaster for an entire race.

Set in a world where dragons are believed extinct, sorcerers rule nations, and gods walk among mortals, Remnants of a Scarlet Flame is the first installment in the new epic saga, The Last Draegion.

    Oh my word, this book!! I am lost for words. I enjoyed it so much! When I started reading, I didn’t think I’d like the 3rd person pov with multiple different characters, however, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it really enhanced the story and was executed really well. I quite liked how we don’t get to read the FMC’s pov until a few chapters in as well as it helped develop her character without it being her own thoughts and feelings. The story as a whole was immersive and intriguing, I was on the edge of my seat (metaphorically and occasionally literally) the whole way through. I can’t wait for the next instalment in the series! Hurry up 2025 so I can read the next one!!
