Casts of Fire Casts of Love

Quick Savant

Sinossi

In the war-ravaged kingdom of Verne, where volcanic ash cloaks jagged peaks and obsidian fortresses, only those who survive the brutal Trials of Ash in a cratered wasteland can bond with dragons. Freya Veyne, a 19-year-old healer with a rare joint disorder, never dreamed of becoming a dragon rider. Her fragile body with near-constant knee pain forces her to rely on fierce intellect and cunning. But when her hidden fire magic is exposed during a village raid, she's thrust into the Dragonrider Academy, a gritty, dark academic world of high-stakes training and deadly rivalries. As Verne faces an invasion from a neighboring empire wielding forbidden blood magic, Freya bonds with Sylva, a cunning dragon with a fiery temper and cryptic motives. Sparks fly with Dren Thalor, a brooding but clever and cunning rider from a disgraced clan with electrifying and unforgettable storm-blue eyes. His secret rebel ties complicate his enemies-to-lovers story arc. Together, they must protect the kingdom from all threats, including the ubiquitous blood mages. Freya's fire magic, tied to the empire's blood magic, makes her a target—and a potential weapon. Casts of Fire, Casts of Love blends spicy romantasy and intense dragon battles, with a morally gray exploration of loyalty, power, and potential betrayal. With relentless pacing, this illustrated tale of identity and ethics is tailor-made for BookTok hype and dragon-magic fans craving steamy tension and epic stakes.

Fortunate Son

Caimh McDonnell

Bunny McGarry is back – and he’d really like a nice holiday. Somewhere with hot weather and cold drinks that come with little umbrellas for reasons he never understood. A certain nun has other ideas though and instead, he finds himself dispatched to London to find Sean Malone, a runaway teenager who doesn’t know his mother hasn’t got long left to live. The only leads Bunny has are a last-known address for the deadbeat dad Sean had gone in search of, and some letters the teenager had sent to his mum, one of which included a picture of him with the current heavyweight champion of the world. It quickly emerges that Sean is caught up in some very, nasty business and Bunny, out on his own and in a city he doesn’t know, or particularly like, is his only chance at survival. 
Join Bunny on his latest adventure in the increasingly inaccurately titled, yet nevertheless, million-selling Dublin Trilogy.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Against the wishes of her stepfather, Mary Sutherland has become engaged to Hosmer Angel. On the morning of their wedding Hosmer elicits a promise that Mary will remain faithful to him "even if something quite unforeseen" occurs, then mysteriously disappears en route to the church. Holmes deduces that Hosmer was Mary's stepfather in disguise, the charade a bid to keep Mary a spinster and thus maintain access to her inheritance. Holmes does not reveal the truth to Mary because "There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman"; he had already advised her to put the matter behind her, though she responded that Hosmer "shall find me ready when he comes back."

Love - Star-Crossed Lovers -...

Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ovid, Ivan...

Love.  Perhaps the one word solution for everything.  An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for.  A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile.  Love reflects, changes and embraces us all.    
 
In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country.   
 
To be so giddy in love, so wrapped up in each other is a very special and consuming feeling, the oxygen of the relationship.  In this facet of love our classic authors feed the flames of love with beguiling words and story arcs in compelling narratives.
