Firevein: The Awakening

I went to Røros for a wedding—not to fall for a man
who looked at me like he had already mourned me once.
From the first moment Rurik touched me, something beneath my skin burned. Every kiss felt inevitable. Every glance pressed at the edge of memory. He says I’ve lived before, that I’ve died before, that he has loved me through it all. I don’t remember him—but the mountain does.
The tunnels beneath Røros hum when I pass. Runes flare in the stone. The deeper I fall into his arms, the more something inside me begins to awaken—hot, wild, and impossible to ignore. I was never meant to survive what should have killed me. Now something ancient is stirring, and I can’t shake the feeling that it’s because I did.
I have buried Cristabel in every lifetime—though she has worn different names.
Across centuries, I have found her and lost her to the curse my bloodline was sworn to guard. She was never meant to live this time—but she did. Now the fire in her veins is awakening too soon. The balance beneath the mountain is shifting, and the oath I have carried for generations is beginning to fracture.
I waited lifetimes to hold her again. This time, I will not let her go—even if saving her means unleashing what should have remained buried.
A steamy Nordic fantasy romance of reincarnation, fate, and fire.
Triggers: Female cancer survivor. Steamy open-door scenes.

My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beneath all the mythology, romance, and fantasy elements, this is really a story about loneliness, survival, and wanting to feel seen after life has hurt you.
Cristabel Johnson immediately came across to me as someone using humour and flirtation to hold herself together. She’s bright, funny, and talkative, but the more you learn about her past, the more heartbreaking some of that becomes. The storyline about her surviving cancer and being abandoned during it genuinely upset me, particularly because she still tries so hard to stay open-hearted afterwards.
I also really liked Rurik. He has this calm, steady presence throughout the novel that balances Cristabel’s energy very well. From the moment they meet, there’s a strange familiarity between them that the book handles beautifully. Their relationship becomes intense very quickly, so this is definitely more erotic fantasy than slow-burn romance, but I thought the emotional connection underneath it made it work.
The atmosphere was another highlight for me. The snowy town, the old hotel, the folklore, and the growing sense that something ancient is moving quietly beneath ordinary life all gave the story a slightly dreamlike quality.
It’s romantic, emotional, mystical, and completely sincere about all of it — and honestly, I found that rather refreshing.

I began my writing career in the pre-dawn of a winter morning while my husband snored like a train. We could call my husband the catalyst. If it weren’t for him, I would never have gone to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee, feed the cat, and sit on the loveseat in front of the fire. It was there, in those moments of wondrous quiet, that I did something I had never thought possible. I opened my laptop, and while the coffee went cold, I wrote a story. My husband had no idea that these sojourns to the loveseat in front of the fire would become a daily occurrence, that writing would become an obsession, but the cat knew. She knows everything.
I write stories that make you laugh, make you cry, and make you love. Thank you, friends, for reading!
