Flood of the Fire
by Evelyn Puerto
The Outlawed Myth Book 4

An ancient prophecy, now an outlawed myth. A girl who should never have existed. An empress who would burn the world to save it.

Tereka escaped a brutal prison camp, outwitted deadly pirates, and carved out a life in the wilds with her band of fugitives. But survival isn’t enough.

Hunted by a regime that fears what she might become, Tereka’s ready to strike back, making good on her vow to bring down the tyrants who rule Tlefas—starting with her ruthless aunt Juquila.

When a foreign army sweeps into the south, Tereka sees a chance for revolution. Whispers spread that the invader may be the long-awaited figure of a forbidden prophecy—the Desired One who will save them all. As war ignites, Tereka must choose: join the invader hailed as a savior or forge her own path to freedom.

In a land where lies hold the realm together, truth is the most dangerous magic of all. Wielding it could destroy two warring nations—and cost Tereka her life.

Behind the Scenes

Flood of the Fire, the final book of the Outlawed Myth series was a challenge to write. I’d started several plot lines and had to find a way to tie them all up—while delivering a satisfying conclusion to the series. Several of the scenes were ones that early readers said they’d been eagerly waiting for them. I suspected that, and poured extra effort into making those scenes satisfying for my fans who’d been anticipating them.
