The Zafiil series by M.C.A. Hogarth is a two-book duology published in 2022, set in the Peltedverse among the FireBorn, one of the many genetically engineered Pelted species. FireBorn UnPainted introduces the culture and traditions of these aliens, with a focus on art and fire-dancing as central aspects of their identity.
Firedancer’s Hand continues the story, following characters as they navigate the expectations of FireBorn society. Both books are relatively short and were released close together, making the duology a quick read compared to Hogarth’s longer Peltedverse series.
The Zafiil books connect to The Fallowtide Sequence, where FireBorn characters also appear. Readers interested in the FireBorn specifically will want to read both series, though Zafiil works on its own for those looking for a brief visit to this corner of the Peltedverse.
