A gifted bookbinder and a cursed immortal general are bound together by a dangerous bargain in Kiss of the Black Flame, an epic romantasy where living magic, ancient powers, and undeniable attraction collide. Helen Scheuerer brings readers a fierce, bookish heroine, a dangerous immortal hero, and a world where the secrets hidden inside a mysterious book could change everything.

The Vibe

Saige Grayson is the capital's most promising bookbinder, restoring treasured books while struggling beneath crushing debt and chronic pain. When her unusual talents become more valuable than the money she owes, Saige is traded to the Azkari, an immortal race created by the gods for war, and imprisoned within their ancient stronghold.

Her only chance at freedom comes from Archer, a fallen Azkari general who is cursed, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. He offers Saige a bargain: help him retrieve and restore an ancient book, and he will help her escape.

But this is no ordinary book. Crafted from living magic, the tome holds enough power to either stop a great evil or unleash it. As Saige works alongside Archer, the magic begins awakening something dangerous within both the world around them and Saige herself.

With simmering romantic tension, epic fantasy stakes, ancient magic, and a brooding immortal warrior, Kiss of the Black Flame is an atmospheric, high-stakes romantasy for readers who love dangerous bargains, fierce heroines, and a romance forged under impossible circumstances.
