Synopsis:
In the autumn of 1810, four-year-old August Everhart’s world is shattered when he witnesses the brutal murder of his noble parents within the walls of their family estate. Once a boy filled with dreams of knights and fairy tales, August is left hollow, his childhood stolen in an instant. Taken in by distant relatives who see him more as a duty than a child, he grows in silence and shadow haunted by a past he cannot forget, and a truth no one dares to speak.
In a world ruled by class, expectation, and silence, can love survive when it must remain unseen?
The Quiet Flame is a tender, tragic, and emotionally rich tale of hidden wounds, quiet longing, and the courage it takes to love in a world that won’t allow it
