Meleran is alive. Not merely filled with life. The world itself can be wounded, changed, and marked by what happens upon it. In the shadow of the long-silent Prenko Volcano lies Chuen, a small town that has lived beside its phoenix for generations. Now the ground is trembling. Ash is falling. And the dark fairies who once made their homes among Prenko’s volcanic rocks are leaving. All except Opal. Small enough to disappear into a shadow and stubborn enough to ignore the warnings of her own kind, Opal has no intention of abandoning the place she chose as home. But something is stirring around Prenko, and soon staying will mean more than refusing to run. Because in Meleran, a wound in one place does not always remain there. Meleran: The Living One is an epic fantasy of strange magic, unlikely companions, old mysteries, humor, danger, and lives shaped by a world that is far more than the ground beneath their feet. Volume I — The Phoenix in Ashes No previous Meleran story is required to begin here.
