Born to rule. Blessed by fire. Broken by desire. . .

In A Fate Forged in Fire, a powerfully blessed blacksmith must use her wits and fire magic to become the first queen in centuries and overthrow the corrupt powers ruling the kingdom while also fighting her desire for her dragon-riding adversary. The first book in a sizzling Celtic-inspired fantasy romance duology.

Once a territory built on matriarchal rule, Tir Teine has been without a female heir for centuries. Through a long line of corrupt kings, an oppressive anti-magic teaching has infected the land - leading to the tragic decline of the dragons.

Aemyra was born to rule, gifted with fire magic from the Goddess Brigid. For years she has hidden in the shadows, waiting for the king to die so she can bond to his dragon, claim her birthright and protect her people.

But when her ambitious plan is foiled, Aemyra is thrust into a vicious game of politics and plots. Her biggest adversary is dragon rider and fire wielder Prince Fiorean. A cold and arrogant member of the royal family, he is everything Aemyra despises.

As chaos engulfs the court, Aemyra and Prince Fiorean are forced to forge an uneasy alliance - one that quickly ignites into something more dangerous than either of them expected.

Behind enemy lines and slowly falling for her so-called nemesis, Aemyra uncovers the true weight of the crown. How much is she willing to sacrifice to claim her throne?

Reviews for A Fate Forged in Fire: Discover your next romantasy obsession! (Bonded to Beasts, Book 1)

A Fate Forged in Fire is a romantic, thrilling journey through a world of dragons and destiny. The fiery heroine Aemyra will have you rooting for her from the very first page. Filled with lore, vivid world-building, and an enemies-to-lovers romance that left me breathless, McBride has crafted an adventure that feels both timeless and utterly unique. * Elizabeth Helen, author of Bonded by Thorns * Hazel McBride expertly combines all the best ingredients of the romantasy genre to forge this fiery, addictive read. The rich world building, deadly political schemes, intriguing magic system and sizzling enemies-to-lovers will surely delight readers, but what I personally love most about A Fate Forged in Fire is the delicious female rage that ignites every page, making this book impossible to put down! * Rosie Hewlett, author of Medea * A Fate Forged in Fire delivers visceral action, dagger-to-throat enemies to lovers, lush worldbuilding, and explosive female rage - everything I could want in a romantasy. Hazel McBride's prose is addictive and her storytelling, cinematic. Rarely have I been so swept away. * Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy * Hazel McBride transports us into a world of dragons and scheming rivals. I was pulled in immediately by the lush world building rooted in Celtic mythology, but the twisty, action-packed plot and steamy marriage of convenience made it impossible to put down. I absolutely loved it! * Demi Winters, author of The Road of Bones and Kingdom of Claw * A brutal, breakneck, and blazingly hot new romantasy. A Fate Forged in Fire is true enemies-to-lovers in all their most cutthroat (and hot) glory, ruthless dragon riders forging unforgettable bonds with their beasts, and plot twists so intense with feminine rage, I was glued to the pages. * S. A. Maclean, author of The Phoenix Keeper * With exquisite world building rooted in Scottish culture and an enemies to lovers romance so hot, it sizzles off the page- this book was a non stop thrill ride. * Elliot Fletcher, author of The Macabe Brothers *
