Description: DAUGHTER OF FIRE
Daughters of the Three Realms, Book 1

Enemies-to-lovers slow-burn romantasy with a fated soul-bond, morally gray magic, and one choice that could save the realm—or break it.

When the last princess of a slaughtered race meets a dying guardian at the crossroads of three worlds, their choices will either save the realms—or destroy them all.

Princess Melantha is the sole survivor of the Zanuatte massacre, haunted by duty and consumed by loneliness in her mountain stronghold. For decades, she's guarded the boundaries between realms, but when an ancient evil stirs and threatens to devour the souls that anchor reality itself, even her legendary warrior skills may not be enough.

Miles away, Vivica tends the mystical estate of Vildesong, where portals between worlds shimmer like mirages. As a terminal diagnosis forces her to confront her mortality, she must prepare her shapeshifter grandson to inherit guardianship of the most dangerous threshold of all—while something dark circles closer, drawn by the scent of a soul in transition.

Between them stands Dag, a small creature awakening to consciousness for the first time. Born soulless and bred to serve the realm's greatest predator, his unexpected transformation threatens to unravel centuries of servitude—if he can survive long enough to understand what he's becoming.

As boundaries weaken and predators gather, these unlikely allies must forge bonds across ancient enmities. But when prophecy demands the joining of bloodlines and the sacrifice of everything held dear, will their newfound connections prove strong enough to prevent the collapse of all three realms?

A sweeping fantasy debut that weaves together tales of love transcending death, the courage to change what seems unchangeable, and the fierce bonds that form between the most unexpected allies.

Perfect for readers who crave epic fantasy with intimate character development, otherworldly romance, and the kind of magic that costs everything to wield.
