Through the Fire

A black egg. A forgotten city. A girl born from flame.

In the dry, dangerous land of Aponogeton, stories are more than stories. Firebirds are meant to be myths. Taffeta is meant to be lost. And an orphaned Incommer like Boempi is meant to stay invisible. But when a mysterious black egg arrives in the Village of Mamoepa — delivered by a creature no one wants to believe still exists — everything changes. From that egg comes Errieda. A strange, brilliant, impossible girl with fire-coloured hair, honey-gold skin, and a destiny powerful enough to terrify the men who cling to control. The Wise Woman MaMari sees what others refuse to see: Errieda is not a curse. She is not a mistake. She is the future of Aponogeton. And some people would rather burn the future than bow to it.
