Betrayed by blood. Forged in magic.
The Cruel Prince and Throne of Glass meets in this epic romantic, sapphic fantasy where a ruthless fae princess and the human put fighter sworn to hate her are forced into an uneasy alliance to expose the corruption festering within the fae court, where betrayal wears a crown, power demands blood, and survival means trusting the one person she was never meant to love.
A Fractured Dominion
Lytherien has long been shaped by fae rule, with human provinces and lesser magical races bound beneath their authority. Though peace has endured in name, it has been maintained through fear, control, and unequal pacts. Now, the fragile balance is cracking as unrest stirs within the fae court itself.
A Reluctant Champion
Ren Harper, once nothing more than a human arena brawler scraping by in the underground fighting pits, is bound for execution at the hands of the fae until a monstrous raid shatters the voyage and forces her to unleash fire-wielding magic. Her deadly display catches the attention of a calculating fae prince, who offers her a bargain: hunt the nightmares plaguing the realm in exchange for coin, freedom, and the chance to finally disappear.
A Crowned Strategist
Always ten steps ahead and fiercely devoted to her people, fae Princess Kaelin of House Vaelaran rules with precision and restraint. When signs of corruption begin to surface within the fae court, her court, she is determined to root it out before it threatens her kingdom no matter the cost. The only problem? Working alongside Ren Harper, a human pit fighter whose defiance threatens to upend Kaelin's careful control.
A Court on the Brink.
With the fae court unraveling and enemies closing in, Kaelin and Ren must rely on each other to survive a web of lies, shifting alliances, and hidden threats, along with feelings neither of them can afford to acknowledge.
As corruption tightens its grip on the fae court and a cursed plague begins to spread, long-buried truths stir alongside whispers of a forgotten prophecy, forcing Ren to face the truth:
She wasn't just born to survive.
She was forged for something far more dangerous.
FORGED IN SHADOW AND FLAME is the first book in the Flameborne trilogy, an epic romantasy series that follows our heroes Ren and Princess Kaelin journey through betrayal, magic, and rising power. This first installment sets the stage for a sweeping saga of rebellion, self-discovery, and a love that defies every rule.
This slow burn, enemies-to-lovers story is perfect for fans of high stakes, character-driven plots, rich world-building, a diverse cast of characters, elemental magic and ancient prophecies, and and fierce heroines who are just as deadly and twice as unforgettable-and books like Throne of Glass, Quicksilver, The Cruel Prince, Furyborne, Ash Princess, and Red Queen.
