Demon Trainer: Exiled by Light, Forged in Flame (Paperback or Softback)

“Fire meets shadow in a world that forgot its other half.”

When sixteen-year-old Kaela accidentally bonds with a demon instead of a Guardian spirit, her life goes up in literal flames. Banished from the shining city of Calyss and branded corrupted, she must survive the monster-filled Wilds with only her quick wit, raw magic, and her new partner—Ashfang, a sarcastic ancient demon with a tragic past and zero respect for authority.

But the deeper Kaela trains with Ashfang, the more she realizes the Council’s “pure light” isn’t so pure after all. The Sundering that split the world’s spirits into “good” and “evil” was never about balance—it was about control.

To survive, Kaela must master her fire and face the truth that terrifies her most:
The real demons may not be the ones in chains...

Perfect for fans of The Witcher, Throne of Glass, and How to Train Your Dragon, Demon Trainer is a fast-paced, character-driven fantasy full of banter, heart, rebellion, and redemption.

Themes: found family, forbidden bonds, moral grayness, and the courage to choose who you’ll become.
