The Forgotten Flame - Book 2

What Was Lost

Heaven left the flock behind,
the wolves remained.
The fires that began in When She Walked In still burn beneath the city’s skin. Private investigator Michael Ryder and Gabi Brant stand between the living and the damned, where angels fall silent and demons hunt in the open.
A child’s abduction draws them into a new war, fought through tunnels and churches, across the quiet streets where the city hides its sins. Surrounded by fear and hunted by both the living and the damned, they must keep their promises and stand together as allies fall and enemies multiply.

The Forgotten Flame - Book 1

When She Walked In

In the dark streets of New York City, private investigator Michael Ryder has spent centuries hiding from the war he can never escape.
When a woman named Gabi enters his office, hunted and with no memory of who she truly is, Michael is drawn into a conflict older than the city around them.
When She Walked In is the first novel in The Forgotten Flame, a supernatural noir series of redemption, memory, and blood set against the neon lit grit of New York.

About the Author

Lee Driftwood writes where the light fades and the shadows begin. After years untangling complex systems, he turned to stories of angels, demons, and the city caught between them. His work, including The Forgotten Flame series, blends a sharp eye for detail with a love of noir and the supernatural.When not writing, he can be found with a camera in hand, a cup of green tea nearby, and a curiosity for the stories and images hidden in everyday shadows and light.
