A Touch of Celestial Flames (Realm of Shadows and Starlight, #1)

A princess bound by blood, an enemy with secrets, and a kingdom on the edge of ruin.

Rhiannon is one step from losing her birthright to the Fire Throne, and with it, her freedom. Her only hope of stopping a political marriage from destroying her court lies in swearing a deadly Oath: win the crown...or die trying.

When Braeden Knight—a banished fae with a shadowed past—returns to the Fire Court, his reappearance ignites old grudges and forbidden desires, complicating Rhiannon’s every move. As darkness creeps across the realm and a chilling prophecy surfaces, she’s forced to form a precarious alliance with the one man who walks the knife’s edge between enemy and protector.

But while mercenaries infiltrate the palace and a bloodthirsty beast hunts her steps, it’s Braeden’s secrets...and the pull between them...that may be the most dangerous threat of all.

To save her crown, and herself, Rhiannon must awaken the power she's hidden and make an impossible choice: trust Braeden with her kingdom and her heart...or watch as the Shadow Lord plunges her people into eternal chaos.

Fans of Curse of Shadows and Thorns and Dawn of Onyx will devour this slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers fae romance with deadly stakes, hidden identities, and the pull of fated mates.

A Touch of Celestial Flames is the first book in the Realm of Shadows and Starlight series, a seductive romantic fantasy filled with tension, betrayal, and star-crossed lovers that burn hotter than fire.

This book was originally published under the title Fire Glass (as a novella). A Touch of Celestial Flames has been completely reimagined and expanded to a full-length novel with new scenes, subplots, deeper character arcs, and significant plot additions. If you read the original, the core story will be familiar, but consider this a brand-new experience.
