Bound by Fire, Chosen by Fate

Christine Knight was trained to hunt monsters— not become bound to one. As a Syndicate Knight, her job is simple: track the last known dragon, bind him in chains, and end the war before winter. She's survived dragonfire once before. She knows the cost of failure. She knows what dragons are supposed to be. Or so she's been told. When a binding spell goes catastrophically wrong, Christine doesn't chain the dragon. She chains herself. Now tethered by a volatile soul-bond to Drake Varyn—a dragon who refuses to play the role of monster—Christine is forced into uneasy proximity with the very being she was trained to destroy. The bond doesn't protect. It burns. It shares pain, power… and truths the Syndicate never wanted uncovered. As ancient magic stirs, enemies close in, and the cracks in the Syndicate's story widen, Christine must decide who she really is when she's no longer just a weapon—and what she's willing to burn to uncover the truth. Because fire doesn't choose gently. And fate doesn't care who you were trained to be. Bound by Fire, Chosen by Fate is a slow-burn romantasy for readers who crave a moody, character-driven tale of fated, fire-bound connections, moral ambiguity, and elemental magic that ignites under pressure. Perfect for readers who love fated bonds with teeth, morally gray truths, and romance that burns as fiercely as it binds.
