SOLVED. Green Fire: Fantasy. takes place in a medieval setting (spears and swords etc.) and there is a war going on. The "Evil" queen rules over her part using the green fire. [s]

So let me talk about the most obvious aspect of the book first, the green fire. It's nothing symbolic, but the actual color of a special fire that takes away the will of people who are burned by it.

It's been a while since I read it, so I don't remember much and it might not be correct, but...

It takes place in a medieval setting (spears and swords etc.) and there is a war going on. The "Evil" queen rules over her part using the green fire.
I'm not certain of the next point, but if i recall correctly, the "Evil" queen was also under influence of the green fire, which caused her to make the wrong choices.
I think she was also the mother of the main character.
Other than that I remember there being an "older" man that kept talking about "Grey-thinking", using a small cube as example; one half white, one half black, but if you spin it, they blur to grey.
The story ended with a new castle being built in the middle of the 2 fighting countries, governing them both.

It was a trilogy, and I could swear that one of the titles included "Green Fire" in it, but I can't find it.

Hope you can help, and thanks in advance :)

Kaj, around what year did you read this book?

[Kaj]

It's been a few years already, I think about 4 or 5 years ago by now.

[Kris]

Was it referred to as "green fire", "green flame" or ... ?

[Kaj]

I honestly can't remember

[SBC]

Maybe the Oran Trilogy (aka The Queen's Quarter) by Midori Snyder? There is a evil fire queen (I can't remember if the fire is green though!) and the last book is called Beldan's Fire

[Angela]

Maybe "The Shadow of Malabron" by Thomas Wharton, I remember green fire and wolves but not much else. I think the second book in the series is called "The Fathomless Fire."

[Huma]

Is it Flame from Sky chasers trilogy by Amy Kathleen Ryan ?

[Kris]

The Shadow of Malabron by Thomas Wharton - Angela's suggestion

Flame by Amy Kathleen Ryan - Huma's suggestion

[Kaj]

sadly it's neither. I still haven't found it myself either yet.

I found it a while back as i stumbled upon it.
It's called Het groene vuur by Eva Raaff. Apparently it's a dutch series, hence a lot of people wouldn't have read it.
Thanks anyway.
