Scribes Aflame (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798985983159)

Once the water runs out, millions trapped in a mine will die. Unless civil war kills them first.

Mallory Leighyan vows to save them all.

She plans an escape to the surface while falling in love with a prince who teaches her to fight. But as an army of traitors besieges the capital, she hides the royal family in tunnels below the palace.

Problem is, food is running out. And the tunnels swarm with monsters invincible to all but Mallory's weapon powered by alien nanotech. In desperation, she calls to the voice of one she can't see. He's guided her out of danger before, but now he keeps silent while enemies close in.

Mallory seeks answers at the bottom of the mine, where others cry for rescue from a volcanic hellscape. Among the flames and toxic gases, something else awaits her. Something from another universe with designs to dominate this one, and it needs to steal a part of Mallory's mind to do it.

Scribes Aflame delivers more of the hard sci-fi, futuristic fantasy, and immersive world building readers have come to love in Scribes' Descent. Book Two of the Scribes Series.
