Legion of Salt and Steel

No one volunteers for the Bone Legion. You're drafted into it, the way you're drafted into a disease -- and Isolde Marrow has known since she was twelve that her blood ran wrong enough to guarantee it.Legion of Salt and Steel follows Isolde as she's bound to the Drowned Marches' most reviled Legion, her only motivation a brother's medical debt and a salary that might keep him alive. When a joint exercise throws her into Steel Legion's path, she collides head-on with Commander Kestrel Dray -- elite, contemptuous, and utterly unprepared for a Bone recruit who knows the marsh better than his own scouts.As war forces them to rely on each other again and again, rank and reputation start to matter less than the reluctant respect neither of them wants to admit to.What's inside:- A grounded, rank-and-file dark fantasy romance between rival Legions- An elemental magic-binding system where the "worst" assignment turns out to hold the answers- Marsh warfare, ambush tactics, and a heroine who reads terrain like a second language- A reluctant-respect slow burn between a scorned recruit and an elite commander- A family-first motivation that never gets forgotten in favor of romance alonePerfect for readers who love military fantasy romance, rivals-to-allies arcs, and heroines whose competence speaks louder than their rank.
