Veins of Power: Your Next Obsessive Slow-Burn Fantasy Romance: Dragons, Forbidden Magic, and Unbearable Tension! (Threads of the Fifth Realm Book 1)

Lyra Bloom is a sharp-tongued redhead raised in the lawless Outerlands, where she learned to fight, lie, and survive alone. A fatal mistake leads to her capture at the border, forcing her into the Inner Lands and into service under a power she has always resented. Inside the Citadel, Lyra's magic grows stronger and wilder. She also experiences a rising desire for something shadowed and dangerous that threatens to unravel her and everything around her. As whispers of rebellion spread and dragons strike from exile, Lyra must choose whether to become the weapon the Citadel wants or the spark that burns it all down. This book features slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, a morally grey male character, forced proximity, dangerous bargains, dragons in exile, forbidden magic, and a fierce heroine who would rather set the world on fire than submit. This is Book One in a three-book fantasy saga.
