Veins of Power (Threads of the Fifth Realm) (Threads of the Fifth Realm #1)

"HOLY freaking crap!!! That was EPIC!! That was totally right up there with Fourth Wing!!! I absolutely loved it!!

"WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K IS HAPPENING? I need to know more IMMEDIATELY! Oh the twist! You, cruel and clever writer! I love it so muchhh!!"

"I don't think I've read a book that explores the mechanism of magic and magical theory this thoroughly since Harry Potter. Most authors don't go this deep, and I didn't realise how much I missed that level of detail until I read your work."

"I CANNOT WAIT. I just want Lyra to rip all of Talen's clothes off!"

Meet Lyra Bloom – a sharp-tongued redhead with a quick mind and a volatile vein of magic she can’t quite control.

Raised scraping by in the lawless Outerlands, survival meant learning to fight, lie, and rely on no one but herself. Until one fatal mistake changes everything.

Captured crossing the border into the Inner Lands, Lyra is dragged into the very world she’s spent her life resenting—and forced into service under the power she swore she’d never bow to.

Inside the walls of the Citadel, her magic grows stronger. Wilder. But so does something else: a rising lust and desire for something she doesn’t truly understand. Something shadowed. Something dangerous. Something that threatens to unravel her—and everything around her.

And as whispers of rebellion spread and dragons strike from exile, Lyra must decide whether she’ll be forged into the weapon the Citadel wants… or become the spark that burns it all down.

Expect:
Slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tension
Morally grey MMC
Forced proximity & dangerous bargains
Dragons in exile & forbidden magic
A fierce, flawed heroine who would rather set the world on fire than bow to it

This is Book One in a three-book fantasy saga.
