What if the light you were searching for… was already inside you?

​

From the author of Burn Bright Island comes a powerful and heartwarming sequel that explores courage, self-belief, and the journey to discovering your inner light.

​

On Burn Bright Island, Eepah’s flame glows stronger than ever. Guided by wisdom and peace, he has learned how to shine from within. But far away, in the cracked and crumbling land of Dimvale, a cruel new force is dimming the light of others.

​

Meet Jagree, a sneering, laughter-loving candle who mocks others until their flames flicker and vanish. Alongside returning troublemakers Skowel, Fitz, and Hondra, Jagree teaches a darker art—not with breath, but with words sharp enough to extinguish hope.

​

But one young candle named Yomel still believes…
He believes in a place across the sea where candles burn bright, where laughter lifts you up instead of tearing you down.

​

Though his own flame is out, Yomel sets sail toward a distant glow, hoping someone else can re-light his spark. Battling storms, doubt, and despair, Yomel must journey not only across the ocean… but deep within himself.

​

When he finally reaches Burn Bright Island, he learns the truth: The brightest flame cannot be given to you. It must be found inside you.

With rich imagery, cinematic illustrations, and a message that resonates across all ages, this book reminds readers:

​

✨ Believe in yourself.
✨ Carry your own light.
✨ Even in the darkest places, hope can shine.
