Frozen Flame

Old friends. New allies. Their fates forever entwined. Guided by the ancestors, Natalia and Athgar journey to an inhospitable land where danger lurks behind the guise of friendship. With a dire need to find shelter, they have no choice but to settle in and hope for the best. It doesn't take long for them to realize something is not right. Athgar, having travelled back to his roots, soon discovers they are rotting from within. And Natalia, one of the most powerful mages on the continent, finds herself unable to cast even the simplest of spells. All the while, the Orcs of the Red Hand, running from certain death, desperately seek safety. Kargen, torn away from those he has sworn to protect, must gamble the future of his tribe on a desperate bid for their survival. When old enemies resurface to endanger them all, two ancient races must come together as one or be annihilated, lost forever to the annals of history.

Is nowhere safe? Athgar and Natalia have everything they have ever dreamed of - family, friends, and a place to call home. When Athgar's long-lost sister unexpectedly walks into the village, he feels as if life is complete, but not everyone trusts her. Ebenstadt, abandoned by the Temple Knights after their defeat, now suffers under the control of a ruthless despot who uses thugs to enforce his will. To complicate matters even more, the neighboring Kingdom of Novarsk is looking on with greedy eyes, eager to expand its borders. Left behind in the city, Stanislav is accosted by a trio of strangers intent on contacting his friends. He must quickly decide if these are agents of the family or if a new threat has emerged before he acts. With echoes of unrest reverberating throughout the region, it would only take a tiny spark to ignite a war. Can the flame be extinguished before it erupts into an inferno? Return to a land brimming with magic, strife, and secrets as Athgar and Natalia continue their adventures in Paul J Bennett's fourth installment of The Frozen Flame series, Inferno!

Natalia returns to where it all began. Forced to pursue those who threaten their daughter's very existence, Athgar and Natalia must say goodbye to all they know. Barely surviving the journey, they finally arrive in Karslev, where nothing goes according to plan. For centuries, the family increased their influence over the Petty Kingdoms until their control became absolute. Now, as Marakhova moves to destroy any who resist, the return of a disgraced student jeopardizes everything they've fought to accomplish. While a hidden key to Natalia's past drives her to do the unthinkable, Athgar struggles just to survive. Their future relies on Natalia deciphering her grandmother's legacy. They'll risk everything to break Markhova's hold over the family, but will it be enough?
