Film I — THE FIRST EMBER (set 1340 CE): ADESOLA, 22, a warrior-priestess of the Yoruba coast, discovers she carries the Flame Mark — an ancient physical power that makes her invincible in combat but slowly burns her alive. She must unite rival kingdoms before the Mark consumes her.
Film II — DAUGHTERS OF ASH (set 1888 CE): KEMI ADEYEMI, 28, Adesola's great-great-granddaughter, is a Dahomey Agojie warrior in the final resistance against French colonial forces. She carries a diluted but awakening version of the Flame Mark.
Film III — EMBERS NOW (set 2041 CE): ZARA ADEYEMI, 19, a synthetic biology student in Lagos Megacity, is the first descendant to carry the full Flame Mark in 700 years — as a corporate bio-weapons firm wants to harvest it from her living body.
