Bound By Fire

She survived the fire that killed her parents. Now she has to survive the power it left behind.

Celeste never asked for the flames that dance beneath her skin, or the storms that answer when her control slips. Rescued from tragedy and thrust into the Southern Elite Academy, she's surrounded by soldiers who see her as either a weapon to wield or a threat to contain.

But two men see something else entirely.

Andrew is steady: the fire user who understands her power because he fights the same burn. Patient. Protective. The kind of safe that terrifies her because she's never had it before.

Mark is chaos: the kinetic manipulator who absorbs her power like it's made for him. Reckless. Magnetic. The kind of dangerous that feels like coming alive.

Between grueling training, impossible missions, and a shadowy enemy who knows too much about her past, Celeste discovers her elemental abilities are far more rare-and far more deadly-than anyone suspected. As her powers evolve beyond fire into something unprecedented, so does the tension between the two men who refuse to let her face the darkness alone.

One offers her a future built on trust.
The other promises her a present that burns.

But when an old enemy resurfaces with plans that could shatter everything she's built, Celeste will have to choose: the steady flame that lights her path, or the wildfire that consumes everything in its wake.

Because some choices can't be unmade. And some fires, once lit, never go out.

Bound by Fire is a dark new adult romantasy featuring elemental magic, elite military training, morally complex characters, and a love triangle that will leave you questioning everything. Perfect for readers who crave atmospheric world-building, found family dynamics, and romance that burns as dangerously as the powers at its heart.
