Realm of Wind and Vines
Desperate times call for desperate measures. To take down the Iceheart Dynasty, Selena and her friends must turn enemies into allies and setbacks into opportunities. But the world is filled with more secrets than Selena can imagine, and untangling the twisted web of interconnected loyalties and hidden agendas is far from easy.
At the same time, tension within their group threatens to tear them apart. While Selena works desperately to undo the damage caused, she must also navigate changes to her own sense of self. The difference between who she used to be and who she must become is vast, and the path of change is a slippery one.
To succeed in their mission, Selena and her friends will need to outsmart some of the most cunning people in the realm. But victory requires sacrifice. Can they do what needs to be done without losing themselves in the process?

Marion Blackwood
In the crowded realms of fantasy and romance, where dragons soar and fae conspire, Marion Blackwood has carved a space that feels fiercely personal and irresistibly dangerous. Her stories don’t just invite readers in—they drag them, willingly or not, into webs of betrayal, passion, and shifting allegiances, where no character is ever entirely safe and no choice comes without consequence.
With a pen that moves as deftly through political intrigue as it does through enemies-to-lovers tension, Blackwood has become a name whispered among fans of epic romantic fantasy and fantasy romance alike. Her breakout saga The Oncoming Storm introduced a world where power is as seductive as it is deadly, while her Court of Elves series leans into the sprawling grandeur of court politics, mythic secrets, and shifting loyalties. These aren't just romances wrapped in fantasy tropes—they’re survival stories stitched with heat, heartbreak, and hard-won victories.
Flame and Thorns
In the shadow of a crumbling empire, where power wears the mask of nobility and rebellion takes root in silence, Flame and Thorns opens the door to a world where survival is an act of defiance and love is anything but pure.
At the heart of the series is a young woman who enters a brutal magical trial not to win glory, but to forge a future for the people she refuses to abandon. What follows is not a grand destiny, but a blood-soaked climb through betrayal, deception, and desire. The story pulses with the tension of enemies forced into uneasy alliances, where the line between protector and predator wears thin—and where dragonfire can be both a weapon and a promise.
Flame and Thorns consists of four books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
