In the heart of the mountains stands Lumen Keep, where stories live as long as their light endures. Each night, the mysterious Keeper of Whispers lights a candle and tells a tale from the Keep's forgotten past. Meet an ember who dares to dance with rain, a ghostly librarian who guards lost stories, a girl who listens to the stars, and a stonemason whose statue sings at dusk. Four fables - whimsical, haunting, and full of hope - weave together to reveal the legend of the First Flame, the spark that kindled all magic in the world of Lumen Keep. When the candle burns low… another light begins to rise. Christian Fischer is a passionate storyteller, historian, and proud descendant of Elizabeth of York and King Henry VII.
