Friendly Fyre: A Cozy Gender-Bender Kingdom Builder

Reborn as the Dark Lord... Born to make friends. After living 50 years as a human scientist, being reborn as a fire-wielding harpy is a bit of a shock. Not to mention, Fyre is now a woman. However she's much more concerned about the Role that's appeared at the bottom of her game-like stats sheet: The Dark Lord. That's probably fine... Right? Stuck in a freezing cave, Fyre forms a pact with a ravenous Dungeon Core, which helps tunnel a path to civilization. Though she now has some semblance of shelter, the community she joins is barely scraping by itself. With the power of her fire—and science!—she believes she can rebuild it into a thriving metropolis. But in the midst of exploring her new identity, Fyre discovers her newfound family was forsaken by the gods for the very power she now wields. She can't abandon the lives of the people who have come to rely on her. But reviving the lost civilization might mean incurring the wrath of the heavens—and embracing her role of The Dark Lord. A subversion of your typical gender-bender, Friendly Fyre is a cozy sapphic exploration of identity and second chances. NOTE: Fyre is a trans lesbian. There is romance, but it is a slow-burn across the trilogy. Book 2 coming January 2026! View Less
