Overview

Magic has always been easy-speak the words, shape the rune, take the flame. Until the day it starts to stutter. When spells misfire across the realm-healing charms reopening wounds, wards turning predatory, sacred fire burning the faithful-arcane historian Ilyra Voss discovers a pattern no council wants named: magic isn't running out. It's being cut off, like a living thing losing breath. In forbidden archives and ash-coded libraries, Ilyra uncovers a truth buried beneath centuries of ""safe"" doctrine: The First Flame was a Dragon. And it isn't dead-only imprisoned, slowly suffocating while the world siphons its breath to power every spell ever cast. As rival factions rise-a fanatical cult demanding total freedom and a cold priesthood insisting magic must die-war threatens to ignite on the very leylines that hold the prison together. The ruling council moves to erase the truth, branding Ilyra a threat to ""stability"" and dragging her into a brutal ritual meant to strip her magic forever. But the deeper Ilyra goes, the clearer the real choice becomes: Free the First Dragon and risk an exhale that could burn the world back to its beginning... Or keep it choking and watch magic-and civilization-collapse into darkness. There may be only one path left: rewrite the system itself, turning theft into exchange, power into partnership, and spellcraft into something that must be asked for-not taken. The First Flame Was a Dragon is a sweeping dark-fantasy thriller of forbidden knowledge, collapsing empires, and a world forced to confront the cost of its ""everyday miracles."" Perfect for readers who love ancient mysteries, high-stakes magic systems, moral dilemmas, and mythic-scale revelations.
