A Fate of Wrath and Flame is a wild, twisty fantasy adventure that throws you straight into the deep end—just like Romeria. The first chunk of the book is definitely a “just go with it” experience, but once things start clicking into place, it’s impossible to put down. Romy’s journey from NYC jewel thief to a pawn in a world of warring kingdoms and elemental magic is full of tension, intrigue, and some seriously slow-burn chemistry with King Zander. 

While the world-building is dense, the payoff is worth it, and by the end, I was completely hooked. The political scheming, the morally gray characters, and the ever-growing mysteries had me turning pages like crazy. If you love intricate fantasy with enemies-to-lovers vibes, court politics, and a heroine who has no idea what’s going on but just rolls with it, this book is for you. I can’t wait to keep reading this series!
