Two girls. Two traumas. One parasitic system that feeds on both.
Midge Earthstar thought she found treasure on the beach. She found a death sentence. When the Anbar Church invades her forest, a mysterious pendant fuses with her body, granting her the power of FyreBurn — and the voice of a dead warrior in her head. But power is a transaction, and the SABERCON system doesn't give gifts. It takes.
Rydia Ornel was a princess. Then her grandmother framed her for treason, murdered her parents, and exiled her to die. Broken and desperate, Rydia bonds with a second SABERCON artifact, rewriting her reality as a video game to survive. But when her tutorial quest summons a living tornado, her delusion shatters — and so does the refugee camp sheltering her.
Now, with an army of conscripted Spore-Beasts closing in and a vengeful Empress descending from the sky, Midge and Rydia must forge an alliance neither of them wants. Because the SABERCON system didn't choose them by accident. It chose them because they were already broken.
And broken things make the best weapons.
FyreBurn is a meta-progressive dark fantasy — a brutal origin story about trauma as both a prison and a power source, political betrayal, and the terrible price of survival when the system feeding you was never built to keep you alive.
Read for: Dual protagonists who operate in incompatible realities · Power systems that cost pieces of your identity · Body horror transformation earned through sacrifice · Political betrayal that reshapes an entire world · A LitRPG overlay that is a trauma response, not a game
Perfect for fans of Evan Winter's The Rage of Dragons and Michael J. Sullivan's Riyria Chronicles.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Two girls enter the fire. What emerges is something neither expected to become.Midge Earthstar is a living shield. Her Primal Champion bond turns her body into an unbreakable wall, but every blow she absorbs carves away another piece of her humanity. She exists to protect her best friend, even if it means losing herself in the process.Rydia hides behind RPG Mode-a dissociative armor that turns her shattered childhood into tactical advantage. Her magic is wild, unstable, and fueled by trauma she can't fully remember. The fire inside her is growing, and one day, it will demand more than she can give.When a mission to eliminate a Spore-Ant nest goes catastrophically wrong, survival stops being enough. To protect what matters, one of them will have to transform. And transformation is always paid for in blood.This is not a story about heroes rising to save the world.This is a story about survivors learning that the thing that kept them alive might be the thing that destroys them. It is about the moment when a coping mechanism becomes a cage, when a shield becomes a sword, and when the only path forward requires a sacrifice that cannot be undone.FyreBurn is a standalone dark psychological fantasy. The magic is a diagnostic tool. The battle is internal war made visible. The victory is not triumph-it is transformation, and transformation demands everything.Fair warning: This story contains graphic violence, domestic abuse, psychological trauma, and a character death that will hurt. If you need comfort, this is not your sanctuary.Power is never a gift. It is a transaction.This is the price. This item is printed on demand.
