A Fire to Kindle

2024 Realm Award Finalist

An unwanted fire. A dark secret hidden in the catacombs. Can a cursed young woman ignite hope and save all from the evil that lurks unseen?

Rae-Anna of Holden is unwanted. Rejected for her sinister left-handedness, she seeks refuge in the local convent. When her routine of tending the catacombs leaves her cursed hand wielding fire, the pariah must discover the truth about its intentions or risk punishment at the hands of her fellow Sisters.

Following the prompting of the flame, Rae-Anna fears that the cost of serving The Beloved may be more than she can bear. But as the power of the haunting forces at work underground threatens to rise to the surface, the young acolyte must find the strength and courage to protect the same people who reject her. With her every fiber resisting the urge to do what's right, can Rae-Anna extinguish the evil that threatens all she has come to hope for?

A Fire to Kindle is the frightening and enlightening first book in the Spirit Wind Christian supernatural suspense series. If you like slightly spooky stories, determined heroines, and inspirational theology, then you'll love Daniel Dydek's captivating tale.
