Malik has spent his life living between silences.A tarot reader with a voice soft enough to soothe strangers and a heart trained to disappear before it can be abandoned, he believes love is something that burns-or not at all. His past teaches him that devotion is measured in ache, that longing must wound to be holy.Then he meets Carson.Quiet where Malik expects chaos. Steady where he anticipates vanishing. A presence that does not demand blood as proof.As old fires return to test his fragile peace, Malik must decide whether he will remain loyal to the story that shaped him... or brave enough to rewrite it.Told through the language of tarot and the poetry of survival, True Flame is a mystical love story about unlearning beautiful damage, choosing gentleness over destruction, and discovering that the deepest magic is not the fire that consumes-but the light that stays.
