Duskbourne: Bound in Fire: An Epic Romantasy for readers who like their magic deadly and their courts ruthless.

By Bev Eardley

"A stunning Novel that will leave you breathless and heartbroken in equal measure." - Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Cruel Prince

The Fae don't forgive debts. And Sera Ashbourne is about to pay the price for her father's sins.
Twenty-year-old Sera has spent five years trying to hold her fractured family together after watching her mother die from Fae-touched magic. When the Fae arrive on her birthday to collect a debt- seven years of service-Sera volunteers herself to protect her sister and their village.

But the Duskbourne Court is nothing like she imagined. It's a realm of impossible architecture, deadly beauty, and magic that rewrites the laws of reality. Here, Sera discovers she carries dormant Fae power in her blood-and that she's been chosen for something far more dangerous than servitude.

The Veil between realms is failing.

Someone is deliberately weakening the barriers, threatening to unleash a magical apocalypse that will destroy the mortal world. The solution requires transforming Sera into something that hasn't existed in five thousand years: a Prime Conduit capable of wielding all seven forces of magic.

The odds of survival? Slim to none.
With Captain Kael teaching her combat, ancient scholars unlocking her magic, and Caelen-the gentle prince who treats her like she matters-showing her that not all Fae are monsters, Sera begins to believe she might actually survive this.

But every page in an ancient tome brings her closer to an impossible choice. Every lesson in magic takes her further from her humanity. And every stolen moment with Caelen reminds her that love and sacrifice are often the same thing.

Because being a Prime Conduit comes with a death sentence. One year of power, then the magic consumes her from within.
Unless she can master the impossible. Unless she can balance seven conflicting forces that have driven every previous Prime Conduit to madness or death. Unless she's willing to give up everything she was to become something she never imagined.
