In an age before written history, a lame yet gifted youth named Moeslet tends the night fire for his kin. To him, Fire is no mere element—but a living being, both fierce and true, who teaches him how to survive long nights and darker spirits. When Moeslet falls in forbidden love with a girl of the day, and is called to face the Spirit of the Longest Night, he must discover whether his hidden strength can protect those he loves.
A lyrical and mythic journey into the deep past, The Firekeeper & the Spirit of the Long Night explores how human weakness and spiritual courage can entwine to create acts of quiet heroism. Perfect for readers drawn to elemental storytelling, ancient ritual, and the secret life of fire.
