A Bargain of Shadow and Flame

Steal from a fae prince. Touch a cursed stone. Unleash a power that should not exist.

Nyra Vale is a survivor. Thief, liar, orphan—she’s spent every breath evading capture and the memories of a fire that stole everything. But when a job leads her into the vault of the Shadow Court and she dares to touch the wrong artifact, Nyra doesn’t just awaken forgotten magic... she wakes something buried deep within herself.

Now hunted and outmatched, Nyra finds herself bound—literally—to Kieran, the cold and captivating Prince of Shadows. Her choices? Spy for the enemy who should kill her, or be dragged down into the court’s dark heart where secrets twist sharper than blades.

But Kieran wants more than her silence. He demands she play the role of his betrothed. His court must believe it. His enemies must fear it. And Nyra must survive it—without falling under the spell of the prince whose touch burns colder than ice.

If the truth of her magic emerges, it won’t just scorch the fae courts to ash—it might consume her completely.

Because there’s power in Nyra’s blood. And the dragons are not as dead as they seem.

Perfect for fans of dark fae romance and enemies-to-lovers fantasy books, A Bargain of Shadow and Flame delivers court intrigue, fiery magic, and a romance bound by lies.

For readers who love morally grey princes, forbidden magic, and slow-burn romances with a lethal edge.
