She was born to die forgotten. He was raised to rule in silence. Together, they might burn the system that caged them.

In the tyrannical kingdom of Tamuria, Untouchables like Mali LaSalle are expected to work, obey, and die before thirty-five. But Mali is more than a disposable laborer—she's a rare Spirit Master, able to manipulate aether, unseal magical wards, and summon the souls of the dead.

Caer Cymraeg is heir to a throne he doesn't believe in—betrothed to a princess he doesn't love, bound by a faith he doesn't trust, and surrounded by lies his family forces on the world. When a chance encounter with Mali shatters everything he thought he knew, Caer chooses exile over obedience.

Now, Mali and Caer are fugitives—one branded missing, the other a terrorist. With bloodthirsty raiders, spirit-wielding zealots, and a corrupt monarchy hunting them down, survival alone would be a miracle.

But Mali doesn't want survival. She wants justice. And if that means ripping the roots out of every institution that's crushed her people, so be it.

SPIRIT AND FIRE is an ideological epic fantasy of rebellion, forbidden power, and rising against collectivist rule. Perfect for readers who crave deep magic systems, sharp political undercurrents, and reluctant allies who might change the world—or each other.
