In a fallen kingdom, a girl discovers her nation's secrets while awakening dormant demons. Song of Silver, Flame Like Night explores fate and magic.

In a fallen kingdom, one girl holds the key to uncovering the secrets of her nation's past and awakening the demons that lie dormant at its core. Song of Silver, Flame Like Night is an epic fantasy duology inspired by Chinese mythology, weaving together themes of destiny, magic, and self-discovery. Lan, the protagonist, once had a different name, but now she is known by the name given to her by the Elantian colonizers. Her days are spent scavenging for remnants of her heritage, seeking answers about the mysterious mark burned into her arm by her mother in her final moments.

The story takes a turn when Zen, a practitioner with rumored abilities derived from demons, enters Lan's life. His arrival at the teahouse not only saves her but also unveils hidden truths about both their pasts. As they navigate their intertwined fates, Lan and Zen discover that they each possess secrets that could either liberate their land or lead to its destruction. With magic thought to be lost now within their grasp, the stakes are higher than ever.

Song of Silver, Flame Like Night is a captivating tale of romance and fate, perfect for those seeking an adventure infused with mythological elements. As the first installment in the Song of the Last Kingdom duology, it promises a rich narrative that will resonate with fans of other notable works in the genre.
