The Thrice Bound Heir

Ember has never made a choice of her own. A nineteen-year-old mixed-fae shapeshifter, she has spent her life hidden inside a dormant volcano, bound by her mother's magical compulsion and helping rescue refugees from the tyrannical kingdom of Boravia. Freedom has always been just beyond her reach. Then she breaks the spell. When Ember falls for Torren, an elven prince she believes is an ally, she discovers that trust can be as dangerous as magic. As betrayal unravels everything she thought she knew, Ember learns she is more than a hidden shapeshifter. She is the heir to a forgotten legacy, a wielder of all four elements, and the one person a ruthless king will stop at nothing to possess. Hunted across kingdoms and forced to choose between love, loyalty, and the future of an entire world, Ember must decide whether she will remain the pawn others expect... or become the leader no one saw coming. The Thrice-Bound Heir is the first book in The Flamebound Series, a character-driven romantasy featuring fae magic, slow-burn romance, political intrigue, found family, and a heroine who discovers that true power begins with the freedom to choose.
