Fire: Gina - Keeper of the Flame

by N.G. Avant

Gina’s fire has always burned hot, and now her magic is no different. But as her powers awaken, her emotions threaten to spill over in ways that could undo everything she’s meant to become.

When she discovers her mother’s spirit is trapped, Gina is forced to uncover long-buried truths about her family’s past. Secrets that could either shatter her or make her stronger. Her magic isn’t just a gift, it’s a responsibility. To free her mother, she must learn to rely on others, something that has never come easily to her.

With prophecy pressing closer and shadows stirring in the past, Gina’s choices could bind her more tightly to destiny… or tear her away from it forever.

Magical, emotional, and steeped in self-discovery, Gina’s story is a spellbinding piece of the Witchy Women saga.

About the author

Raised in a quaint lakeside town in southern Ontario, N.G. Avant moved to Ottawa, Ontario as a young adult to realize her childhood dream of residing in Canada’s capital, which was built on the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin People. She has a post-secondary education in journalism and worked in municipal politics for more than five years, an experience that sparked the inspiration for her Capital City series.

Avant always felt like a misfit among misfits. Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, she didn’t realize she was neurodivergent until her 30s. Now, she embraces the many gifts it brings, including her quirky personality.

Avant is a proud intersectional feminist. She believes that we are all connected by our humanity and the human experience.

Avant, is a millennial single mother to three wonderful daughters, has a growth mindset, love of animals, a passion for trusting her intuition, and supporting the creation of a more equitable world where everyone has an opportunity to thrive. Avant seeks to highlight the experiences of marginalized communities through her writing. While some progress has been made, there is still more work to be done.

It’s time for change.
