The Severed Flame is the powerful conclusion to The Marked Legacy trilogy, where ancient gods tighten their grip, magic demands its final cost, and defiance becomes an act of survival.

Branna has borne the weight of the Flame longer than anyone was ever meant to. Marked, hunted, and shaped by forces older than kingdoms, she has spent her life paying the price for power she never asked to hold. The Flame was never a gift, it was a tether, a test, and a promise made by the Ancients long before mortals had a voice.

Now the Flame has been severed, and the balance it once enforced is unraveling.

The Ancients do not tolerate interference. When their order is challenged, they respond with trials, judgment, and unbearable pressure. As protections fall away and long buried truths surface, alliances strain and magic shifts, no longer predictable or obedient. The severing sends ripples through every corner of the world, awakening forces never meant to stir again.

Without prophecy to guide them and without certainty of survival, Branna and those bound to her must decide whether submission is safety or simply another kind of ending. When the Ancients push, mortals must answer an impossible question. How do you fight gods who believe they are justice itself?

An emotionally rich, character driven finale filled with epic stakes, ancient magic, divine opposition, and the hard earned strength of those who refuse to be erased. Perfect for readers who love epic fantasy with heart, found family, powerful female leads, and stories where standing together is the final act of defiance.
