Pale Flame

The sequel to Fire of the Blood

It didn’t start with fire and blood.

It started with a corpse, cooling and whitening on the lawn.

It started with knowing I could love him anywhere, even in the land without memory.

Three years have passed since the events in Aplin Hollow and Mallory has moved on with her life. She’s happily settled at university while Dominic ensures her safety. But her nights are plagued by a dream that seems more a memory and, when someone unexpected turns up from her past, she has no choice but to return to the world she so desperately ran from.

She learns that a new force threatens angeleru and dragoviks alike. Unable to leave her friends behind again, Mallory is once again cast into battle, fighting to preserve the very society that allowed for her traumatic childhood. And, as Mallory will discover, her past may have even more bearing on her future than she could ever have imagined.
