Description
Book two in The Forgotten Earth Series- an interconnected Standalone Series (Book one does not need to be read first)
A forgotten magic
A lost civilization
An impossible choice
Solana is the daughter of two of the most powerful people in the world and the older sister of brothers with powers akin to those of the Gods. Solana, however, has none of their power. She can only conjure a small blue flame that can barely light a candle, and suffers from an excruciatingly painful ability to read people's thoughts. Because of her inability to control her magic, she’s been hidden away from the outside world for the last twenty-three years.
When a mysterious threat from overseas has her family leaving her behind, Solana becomes determined to discover the key to her magic. But everything is not as it appears, and when her family's mission goes terribly wrong, Solana is forced to forge her own path forward to protect those she loves.
She embarks on a journey across the sea, accompanied by a mysterious sailor charged with keeping her safe. Her goal is to use her mind-reading powers to gain more information about the force threatening to topple the peace and prosperity her parents fought so hard to create. What she uncovers along the way is so much more than she bargained for, leaving her with a dangerous choice.
Her journey is wrought with unforeseen obstacles, a lost civilization, ancient curses, an unexpected love, and magic beyond what Solana could have imagined. Can she unlock her power and topple the threat in time to save those she cares about most? Or will a new order on Earth begin?

🔥 A Very Mildly Flammable Romance: Igniting an Adventure
If you're looking for a solid romantasy read with a charmingly underpowered heroine and enough magic to make you forget you have laundry to do, The Forgotten Flame is for you. Just don't try to light anything with your mind after reading. Trust me on this one.
➡️ 🗺️ Plot
Solana gets abandoned by her family (a relatable fear) and decides to hit the road. She finds a mysterious sailor (forced proximity, obviously) and their "find my family" quest quickly derails into a "stumble upon a lost civilization" adventure. Also, there's a sentient house that's basically a magical, judging grandmother. Good times.
➡️ 💕 The Romance
This is a slow-burn romance, which is perfect for a book about fire magic. The tension builds like a damp campfire, taking its sweet time to catch. It's a welcome change from the typical "love at first sight, solve the world's problems by Tuesday" fantasy couples.
➡️ ✍️ Final Thoughts
Overall, The Forgotten Flame is a fun and refreshing take on the genre. It's a quick, enjoyable read that proves even the smallest spark can make for a great story.
A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC of this book. My to-do list is now officially on fire (metaphorically, of course), and it was absolutely worth it. And a special shout-out to Brilynn O'Neal for writing a story so good, I actually considered abandoning all my responsibilities to re-read it immediately.
