Published

She was hired to break a curse. He was the power keeping an entire court alive.

Ivara Senn can see the dark thread inside a magical flame: the place where a curse is being fed. When the Lumen Council sends her into Blackcrag Mountain, she expects a difficult repair and a quick promotion.

Instead, she finds Azhareth, a dragon prince trapped in a half-shifted body by a curse that turns his fire into the court’s lantern light. He is dangerous, furious, and determined not to let another fae decide what happens to his heart.

As the mountain closes around them, Ivara discovers the curse is not failing. It is working exactly as designed. Every lantern in the realm draws more power from Azhareth, and the Council has only six days before it makes the arrangement permanent.

To save him, Ivara must break the engine beneath the mountain. To free himself, Azhareth must choose whether to reclaim the fire that could plunge the court into darkness. Their cure will require more than magic. It will require trust, truth, and a consent no ruler can counterfeit.

Lanternwound is a standalone adult fae-and-dragon romantasy with open-door heat, a competent heroine, a sentient dragon hero, court secrets, forced proximity, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
