In a sun-drenched desert city ruled by silence and ritual, Kaylara is just a street dancer—until a fateful performance awakens ancient spirits buried within the flame. Chosen by a mysterious cult to be the next Guardian of the Flame, Kaylara inherits powerful magic drawn from her bloodline. But there's a cruel trap: the flame only responds to love... and in her cult, love is forbidden.

As Kaylara trains to control the fire within her, she discovers secrets long buried by the cult—the stories of those burned alive for loving freely and a long-suppressed truth: that love itself is the source of the flame. When she falls in love with Rowen, a prisoner with a past as haunted as her own, her heart ignites the very magic the temple fears.

Now, Kaylara must choose between duty and desire, obedience and freedom. Because if love is the key to the fire... it may also be the spark that burns the world to ash.

Keeper of the Flame is a sweeping romantic fantasy filled with magical dancing, ancestral spirits, a battle between sacred law and human longing—and a heroine who learns that perfect love is setting the world on fire.
