A Kiss of Hammer and Flame

An immortal bound in darkness. A shattered empire at war. And a blacksmith whose heart could tip the scales of fate.

When young blacksmith Cahra is commissioned to forge a sword, she uses her imagination to design its crest. But this symbol unwittingly invokes an age-old prophecy and awakens Hael – an immortal with the power to shape or shatter worlds – sealed away for hundreds of years in a chamber deep in Hael’stromia, the lost capital at the heart of a civil war between three kingdoms.

Now hunted for the sword, Cahra must flee with the very stranger who commissioned it. But can she trust the handsome and charming noble, Terryl?

On the run through the darkly magical Wilds, she is drawn ever closer to Hael, who visits and beguiles her in dreams. With tyrant kings vying to capture and wield him as a weapon, she alone stands between Hael and their deadly ambitions.

A sizzling, action-packed romantasy, perfect for fans of The North Wind, Throne of Glass and The Book of Azrael.

(Physically) strong female lead. Love triangle.  Slow burn.  Forbidden love.  Hades x Persephone.   Who hurt you?  Fated mates.  ⏳ Age gap (just a couple hundred years...).   Found family.

Cahra is not your usual FMC – she isn’t dainty, she isn’t tiny and she doesn’t need saving. She is capable and tough… It was an absolute joy to read her story⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
