 ht intoxicating conversation with bestselling fantasy author Helen Scheuer
 er as we delve into her thrilling new novel\,&nbsp\;Kiss of the Black Flam
 e.</p>\n<p>Some bargains are sealed with blood. Others with fire. The dead
 liest are sealed with a kiss...</p>\n<p>Saige Grayson has always believed 
 stories could heal&mdash\;even when her own body refuses to. As the most p
 romising bookbinder in the capital\, she&rsquo\;s learned to work through 
 chronic pain and crushing debt\, restoring other people&rsquo\;s treasures
  while trying not to fall apart herself. But when the man she owes decides
  her rare talent is worth more than her payments\, Saige is traded to the 
 Azkari&mdash\;an immortal race forged by the gods for war&mdash\;and impri
 soned in their ancient stronghold.</p>\n<p>Her only chance of survival lie
 s with Archer\, a fallen Azkari general imprisoned beside her&mdash\;curse
 d\, dangerous\, and impossible to ignore. He offers her a way out\, and in
  return\, Saige must help him retrieve and restore an ancient book. But th
 e book is made of living magic\, powerful enough to stop a great evil&mdas
 h\;or unleash it. And as Saige works with Archer\, the tome begins to awak
 en something dark and dangerous&mdash\;both in the realm and within her.</
 p>\n<p>As their enemies close in and buried memories resurface\, Saige and
  Archer must decide what they&rsquo\;re willing to sacrifice: their freedo
 m\, their fragile trust&hellip\;or the spark that could ignite the world.<
