Book Description
The Dawn of Flame-Beings is built on the ten-book Cosmology of Light series. This original series was based on a simple exploration: why does light travel at the constant speed of c - 186,000 miles per second – in vacuum? This exploration led to the consideration of the intentionality of c, and to the consideration of light existing at other constant speeds ranging from infinity to zero. Each constant speed of light was imagined creating a distinct world or layer in which space, time, materialization, and other dynamics were uniquely emergent and operated differently. The interaction of five layers of light existing at different constant speeds was then mathematically modeled to explain all the past, diversity, possibility, and future of known material life. In the course of the mathematical modeling many unique beings and becomings were glimpsed – a mysterious creator with an eye that flashed light, a contrary beginning manifest as a dark bosom, titans, pralayas, world-embryos, a macro space-time-energy-gravity fourfoldness and its micro-counterpart the ever-present priest, battles between original darkness and forever emerging light, powerful meta and multi-function feminine and masculine aspects of the mysterious creator embodied as a She and a He, the earth as the place of an extraordinary courtship between them, the end of death, the birth of flame-beings, the growth and spreading of earth’s cosmic tree of light supplanting an original tree of life, the growth of flame-beings to far exceed their human origins in extraordinary ways, the seeding of new flame-being star-clusters, the changing of typal into evolutionary worlds, the birth of new quantum particles, new atoms, new molecular plans allowing Love to materially reveal more of its fullness, the glorious reign of matter one with spirit, the changing of cosmos, the continuous and fuller births of that original mystery manifesting in an unending display of splendor. In other words, a full mythology was glimpsed in the cosmology of light, and in The Dawn of Flame-Beings abstract and impersonal mathematical and scientific concepts have been personified to begin to materialize powers and forces and entities integral to the history and future of the earth and cosmos.

At just seventeen years old, Mariko is promised to Minamoto Raiden, the son of the emperor's favorite consort—a political marriage that will elevate her family's standing. But en route to the imperial city of Inako, Mariko narrowly escapes a bloody ambush by a dangerous gang of bandits known as the Black Clan, who she learns has been hired to kill her before she reaches the palace. Dressed as a peasant boy, Mariko sets out to infiltrate the Black Clan and track down those responsible for the target on her back. Once she's within their ranks, though, Mariko finds for the first time she's appreciated for her intellect and abilities. She even finds herself falling in love—a love that will force her to question everything she's ever known about her family, her purpose, and her deepest desires.

Pages : 436
Book Description
Dune meets The Poppy War in Aparna Verma's The Boy with Fire, a glorious yet brutal tour-de-force debut that grapples with the power and manipulation of myth in an Indian-inspired epic fantasy. Yassen Knight was the Arohassin's most notorious assassin until a horrible accident. Now, he's on the run from the authorities and his former employer. But when Yassen seeks refuge with an old friend, he's offered an irresistible deal: defend the heir of Ravence from the Arohassin, and earn his freedom. Elena Ravence prepares to ascend the throne. Trained since birth in statecraft, warfare, and the desert ways, Elena knows she is ready. She only lacks one thing: the ability to hold Fire. With the coronation only weeks away, she must learn quickly or lose her kingdom. Leo Ravence is not ready to give up the crown. There's still too much work to be done, too many battles to be won. But when an ancient prophecy threatens to undo his lifetime of work, Leo wages war on the heavens themselves to protect his legacy. The first of The Ravence Trilogy, The Boy with Fire is the tale of a world teetering on the edge of war and prophecy, of fate and betrayal, of man's irrevocable greed for power - and the sacrifices that must come with it.

Book Description
A magical portal to the Plane of Fire disappears into the sun just after creatures exit it for the first time in recorded history. An overwhelming telepathic burst from within the sun quickly follows, and a scientist recruits the heroes to help her find out what's going on. The mission takes the heroes to the Burning Archipelago, a bubble city in the sun's atmosphere, and Asanatown, the lashunta enclave there, to meet with another scientist who can help. Before that meeting can happen, however, the recent psychic disturbance leads radicals among the telepathically sensitive lashuntas to take matters into their own hands, closing Asanatown off from the rest of the sun-based city. Trapped, the heroes must rescue their contact and return power to the proper authorities to escape! "Fire Starters" is a Starfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for four 1st-level characters. This adventure begins the Dawn of Flame Adventure Path, a six-part, monthly campaign in which the heroes uncover a plot that threatens the Pact Worlds sun. This adventure also includes a gazetteer of Asanatown, an article on the sun-worshiping faith that helped establish the Burning Archipelago, and a selection of new monsters from the sun and the planes. Each monthly full-color softcover Starfinder Adventure Path volume contains a new installment of a series of interconnected science-fantasy quests that together create a fully developed plot of sweeping scale and epic challenges. Each 64-page volume of the Starfinder Adventure Path also contains in-depth articles that detail and expand the Starfinder campaign setting and provide new rules, a host of exciting new monsters and alien races, a new planet to explore and starship to pilot, and more!
