The Scholar Aflame

Coming January 2027

Two scientists. Two secrets. One discovery that Sundaraya’s Ruling Council will go to any length to bury.

Tahira ela-Priya has built a career on the cutting edge of metaphysical science. She’s also building a secret: a clandestine cure for severe elemental aspectation—the condition that has shaped her entire life. Her aspect grants her powerful fire magic at the cost of debilitating emotional dysregulation.

When a northern scholar of metaphysical epidemiology is assigned to share her lab, she expects a threat. But Vidar Eriksyn already knows what she’s really researching—because his own aspectation is slowly icing over everything that makes him who he is.

The Scholar Aflame is the first book in the Sundaraya Cycle—a twelve-novel series following Tahira, Vidar, and a world on the edge of a scientific revolution it isn’t ready for.
