PRAISE FOR A Kiss of Hammer and Flame

'An epic start to what promises to be an incandescent trilogy.' â " Shalini Abeysekara, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of This Monster of Mine

'Everything I love in romantasy and more!' â " Maria Z. Medina, author of Mistress of Bones

'Filled with action, adventure, and political intrigue' â " Charlotte Ingham, author of A Match Made in Hell

'It's the perfect read for fans of Sarah J. Maas' books.' The Express

'Brilliant world-building, high emotional stakes, and a heroine you'll root for with your whole heart.' â " The Debut Digest


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.
