The fire never truly died.

Two years after the fall of the last Dragon Protector, Varesa Nordstorm lives in the ashes of what was once a peaceful life. Her perfume shop stands as a hollow monument to the woman she used to be. Now, the Fire Dragon inside her stirs, restless and wild. The city of Avalon pulses with danger as whispers of ancient power ripple through its streets—and the Draco Venatores, relentless dragon hunters, draw ever closer.

When a brutal attack forces Varesa to unleash the dragon within, she is thrust into a war she can no longer ignore. With Clarissa Edinborough gone and a new Dragonborn awakening in the shadows, Varesa must gather the remaining Dragon Protectors before the hunters wipe them out for good. But every flame cast brings darker enemies to light, and not all dragons burn the same way.

As Varesa's powers grow beyond her control and Avalon teeters on the brink of ruin, she must decide: will she master the fire—or let it consume her?

Whispers of Flame is Book Two in the Dragon's Breath, Human Heart series, a character-driven, emotionally intense urban fantasy full of elemental magic, slow-burn awakenings, and women who burn the world down to protect what matters.
