Book V: The City of FlameIn a realm where every desire has a price, Kael and his companions step into the City of Flame-the crucible where power, memory, and soul are forged and traded. Pursued by Djinn bound by ancient law and betrayed by the very fire they seek, they must decide whether creation is worth the cost of self. As the last shard of the Heart of Aeons ignites, the boundaries between maker and made, gift and debt, burn away in a storm of light that will remake their world-or end it.
