“The Flame of Niradim introduces a unique fantasy world that submerges the reader fully into new races, magical powers, and epic boss battles.”

Review by Rayleigh Gray

Death was only the beginning of Ronan’s story.

When Ronan Flamestriker is struck down in battle, his journey should have ended. Instead, he awakens in the Soul Forge of Niradim—the very heart of dwarven power—resurrected but abandoned by the god he once served. As Midral’s legendary “Phoenix” struggles with his broken faith, a shadow descends upon the once-impenetrable mountain city.

A cunning novaborn named Kyros has obtained ancient artifacts of terrifying power, bringing giants, monsters, and chaos to Midral’s gates. His ultimate prize: the Flame of Niradim itself. When he succeeds in stealing it, the city’s defenses crumble, and its people face annihilation.

Now Ronan must reclaim more than just the Flame—he must rediscover his purpose. Alongside unlikely allies—a revenge-obsessed elven warrior, a monk struggling with newfound power, and a florian whose loyalty runs deeper than anyone knows—Ronan stands as merely’s last hope.

But even if they survive this assault, a greater darkness lurks in the stars…

In a world where gods grant power to the faithful and artifacts corrupt the ambitious, who will rise from the ashes to defend the Flame?

The Flame of Niradim is an epic fantasy adventure featuring multiple POV characters, unique magic systems, and a world where faith and power are inextricably linked. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Brent Weeks, and Brian McClellan.

The Flame of Niradim introduces a unique fantasy world that submerges the reader fully into new races, magical powers, and epic boss battles. Somewhere between a D&D campaign and a video game, this book is action-packed, addictive, and perfect for fans of epic fantasy.

Once I felt familiar with who the characters were and fell into a rhythm with the various points of view, I couldn't stop reading. I'm pretty sure that I read the last 200 pages in one sitting. The battles felt like boss battles, tedious and epic at the same time. I really enjoyed how the many characters weaved in and out of the scenes and the timeline weaved in and out of past and present, so we never stopped learning about who the characters are and what drives them forward in their quests. I also really liked that these characters are flawed and vulnerable, making it easy to become emotionally invested in their stories.

Overall, I really enjoyed The Flame of Niradim and look forward to future work from this author!
