If you're looking for a new clean fantasy from a Christian perspective, allow me to introduce A Fire to Kindle by Daniel Dydek, author of The Triumvirs series! A Fire to Kindle is the first in the Spirit Wind series, which are supernatural thrillers set in a medieval-esque countryside, and is available for preorder now!
about the book
Cursed with left-handedness, Rae-Anna tries to find refuge and sanctification in the convent outside Holden. But before she can take vows as a Sister of the order, a chance encounter in the catacombs starts her on a course strange to the Sisters and terrifying to her. To set things back to rights, she'll need to figure out why the blue fire alights her cursed hand—and how she can be rid of it.
But the harder she tries, the more it seems it will not leave until she does what it requires—and neither she nor the Sisters know exactly what that is.
A Fire to Kindle is a YA Christian speculative novel for readers who love supernatural battles (think Frank Peretti) and medieval fantasy and can handle Pirates of the Caribbean type spookiness (yes, I'm talking about undead skeletons 😂)! Fans of MaryLu Tyndall's Protectors of the Spear series will love the Spirit Wind series too!
A Fire to Kindle releases June 6th, 2023 from Beorn Publishing, and you can preorder now for only $0.99 on Amazon Kindle! (The price will increase to $1.99 for launch week, then to the full price of $3.99 afterwards.)

Do you read speculative/supernatural fiction? If so, what's your favorite book in that genre? (Bonus question: have you ever read anything by Frank Peretti???) What are some new indie releases you're looking forward to in the coming months? I'd love to hear all about it in the comments!
"cursed with left handedness"🤣 I have to say, that pulled me in more than anything. I know some left handers and I don't believe they are cursed with it😂
I have read some supernaturalish books, they are not my fave, but they are interesting.
I like mysteries that seem supernatural, but you know the detective is going to explain that it is all a human hoax in the end.🤣
Really cool cover!
Ooooo this book looks so interesting!!!! Whoever designed the cover did a good job with it!! I love the pink colors and the bold font! Thanks for sharing!! *adds it to goodreads tbr*
Okay, this looks like exactly my kind of book. And that cover... *heart eyes* I seriously need to read this!!
