The Silence has been broken. But the Song has not yet been remembered.
Having awakened the Dragon Heart within him, Kaelen now flees with Elara, pursued by the Umbra King's fanatical inquisitors. Their only clue is a starlit map pointing north, towards a truth so dangerous it was buried not in stone, but in story.
Their quest leads them to the Keepers of the Rose, a secret sect who guard a devastating heresy: the true story of Miriam of Magdala. They reveal a history rewritten, where Mary Magdalene was not a penitent sinner, but a powerful priestess and the cherished partner of Jesus Christ. She was the "Code Keeper" who encoded the secrets of sacred union into her gospel to protect them from eradication.
Now, Kaelen must learn her lost arts. To survive, he must master not the dragon's roar of power, but the Magdalene's song of compassionate truth. He must become the "Flame Bearer", weaving together the fiery masculine magic of the dragons with the deep, intuitive feminine magic she preserved.
But the Umbra King knows this truth is the greatest threat to his reign of silence. His most zealous lieutenant, Inquisitor Valerius, is dispatched to finish what the Church started centuries ago: to erase the Code Keeper's legacy forever, and with it, Kaelen's last hope of balancing the world's magic.
In this thrilling second volume, the adventure expands from epic fantasy into a profound exploration of history's greatest cover-up. Kaelen and Elara will uncover the hidden battle between the sacred feminine and the forces that sought to silence it, a battle that holds the key to rekindling the Eternal Flame.
The journey to remember continues. The deepest truth is yet to be uncovered.
