A Match of Iron and Flame: A Dragon King Arranged Marriage Romantasy
Alisson Bento
To survive the mountain, she must wed the monster. To save the kingdom, she must rule him.
Karys Thorne was bred for diplomacy, not sacrifice. But when her diminished human house trades her to secure a fragile peace, she is sent to the volcanic peaks of Cinderfast to marry a myth.
Vhalerion Khol is the Dragon King. Rumor paints him as a feral conqueror with blood on his mouth and smoke in his veins. But the man waiting for her at the basalt altar is terrifyingly human in form, devastatingly disciplined, and far more observant than any monster. He does not demand her submission. He demands her nerve.
When the ancient ceremonial fire reacts to Karys’s bloodline, an impossible truth is laid bare: this marriage is no mere treaty. It is the missing half of a buried covenant.
Instantly, Karys becomes a target. Poisoned banquets, engineered crop famines, and collapsed ceilings prove that a shadow faction within the royal court will stop at nothing to prevent the mortal queen from taking her lawful seat. Forced to navigate a lethal maze of heat-wards, hidden ledgers, and courtly vipers, Karys realizes her greatest threat isn't the treacherous nobles.
It is the smoldering, dangerous bond awakening between her and the Dragon King.
Vhalerion is a sovereign who holds his monstrous nature on a razor-wire leash—but as the attacks on his new bride grow bolder, his lethal restraint begins to slip. To survive the unseen enemies hunting them, Karys and Vhalerion must trust each other. But in Cinderfast, trust is a weapon, and passion is a spark capable of burning a kingdom to ash.
A Match of Iron and Flame is a sweeping, high-stakes epic fantasy romance dripping with political intrigue, explosive magic, and a swoon-worthy slow-burn romance. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Sylvia Mercedes.
