When Dr. Amaya Zarin returns to the island of Zaka after her uncle's sudden death, she expects grief-not a corpse on the beach, charred from the inside out. What begins as a consultation spirals into an unraveling of colonial secrets, sacred lands, and a vanished girl whose name still echoes in the banyan trees. As glyphs appear on the bodies and ancient truths claw to the surface, Amaya must decide how far she's willing to go to unearth what was buried-and who still guards it.

A literary mystery laced with folklore, memory, and fire, Whispers of the Flame is a haunting journey through grief, belonging, and the burning cost of secrets.
