Summary

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.

    Mila hasn't spoken in the five years since she became an Onra, a first-level Everfall witch. After failing the test to reclaim her voice and control her magic, her mentor sends eighteen-year-old Mila to Achten Tan–City of Dust–a dangerous desert town, built in the massive ribcage of an extinct leviathan. 
    To reclaim her power, Mila must steal a magical staff capable of releasing it, from Bone Master Opu Haku's sky-high lair. 
    Her only resources are the magical luminous elixirs of the cursed caverns where she grew up, and a band of unlikely allies; a quirky inventor, a giant-ant rider, a healer, a librarian's assistant, a Tar-tule rider, and the chief's playboy son. 
    But in the City of Bones, enemies & friends are not who they seem, and trusting the wrong person can be deadly. 
    If Mila fails, she will never speak again and her bones will be added to the desert. 
    This book includes a kick-ass tattooed witch who can't speak, giant ants, first-person present-tense narration, magic, banter, lots of innuendoes, and cute boys kissing.

    She's always been great at handling animals, but when it comes to people—particularly gorgeous cowboys—things get a little more complicated. 
    As the traveling vet for the small town of Ivory Peaks, Kristie Higgins has crossed paths with the new Hammond Family Farm foreman more times than she can count. Mission is handsome, quiet, and more than a little intimidating—especially after that awkward first meeting where he insulted her boots. But when he finally musters the courage to ask her out, Kristie’s own confidence takes a nosedive. 
    Mission Redbay has been at the Hammond Family Farm for eighteen years, and he's always preferred to stay in the background. He’s observant, quiet, good with his hands, and keeping his distance. But as the new foreman, Mission finds himself thrust into a spotlight he’s never wanted—and a certain pretty vet keeps making his head spin. He knows there’s more to Kristie than her icy exterior, and he's drawn to her in a way he can't quite explain. 
    Mission has carried the weight of his past for a long time, and letting someone in feels like a risk. But maybe, just maybe, Kristie is worth it. When his granddad tells her about his secret crush, sparks fly between them, walls come down, and love might just get a second chance to take the lead… if Kristie and Mission are willing to take a leap of faith. 
    An enemies-to-lovers romance set against the beautiful backdrop of small town Ivory Peaks, His Tenth Dance is a story of love, second chances, healing, and learning to trust—both yourself and the one who holds your heart.
