Offer the Flame to Thee | Fire, Dragons, and Devot

Offer the Flame to Thee is a fantasy romance about a queen, a knight, and the dragon bloodline hidden between them.

It may look like an M/F romance at first glance, but at its heart, it’s yuri.

She was not revived as a miracle.

She was stitched back together by a prayer.

The first image is from the opening scene.

The second image is a scene from the POV of a character named Shunja.

Refrain of a Dying Prayer is available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

This place.

This method.

This cage.

He is trying very hard to behave properly.

As the author, I have a special fondness for Nol.

But Veranora and Selesta are just as dear to me.

Not because she wears a crown.

Not because people kneel before her.

But because, when faced with fear, grief, and impossible choices, she continues to move forward.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Even when her hands are shaking.

Before she was a knight,

before she was asked to become a queen’s bride,

she was simply a girl holding onto a promise.

She kept walking, even when she had to hide her name.

She kept smiling, even when she was afraid.

And when the queen called her “Selesta,”

that name became something she could finally hold onto again.

But as the story continues, it reaches those who feed on love, souls, and regret.

She will appear properly from Volume 3.

Once, she was only a girl who brought flowers to a starving boy.

Because of her, Duran is finally freed from the hunger that had tormented him.

But that salvation would one day become something far more twisted.

A dragon who mistook love for a cage.

Since it’s the first anniversary, I’d like to make something to celebrate.

Maybe a commemorative illustration, a short story, or a small archive post… I wonder what would be nice.

Not simply a villain.

Not simply a guardian.

A broken dragon who believed love meant protecting someone, even if it meant becoming her cage.

A dragon who mistook love for a cage.

He wanted to protect her.

But love, when shaped by fear, can become a cage.

He is not simply a villain, nor simply a guardian.

He is a man who hurt the person he loved most because he believed that was the only way to keep her safe.

A half-dragon, a broken uncle, and someone still learning what it means to be family.

Offer the Flame to Thee.
