A golden mark hidden beneath a glove reveals Kyle’s ability to melt snow, marking him as a threat to the Church and nobles. Ilwyn Hart pulls him from a mine and shields him, discovering that these children of flame are not cursed. Together with Captain Rowan Thorn, the trio descends into passages beneath the mountain. There, they learn Kyle is not the last of his kind. As religious authorities close in and nobles vie for control, Ilwyn focuses on protecting him. Kyle insists on the right to make his own choices. Ilwyn refuses to claim the sacred fire for herself. She ensures that no single person can possess the power, leaving the future of the flame undefined.
