Bound By Iron & Blood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959679110)

Charlotte's magic can grow life from the smallest seed. Albert's power can bend metal to his will. Their love might destroy them both.

Deep in the Kruluver Mountains, where metal sings to those with the right blood, Charlotte finds refuge with a secretive family of miners. As she falls for the youngest son, she brings warmth to their cold stone world-and unknowingly awakens generations of deadly tradition.

Female Metalists are never allowed to live, and Charlotte's unborn twins will be no exception.

In a cave where ancient fears echo louder than love, Charlotte must fight not just for her heart, but for her children's very existence.

In this stunning standalone novel, KD Lumsden weaves a tale of forbidden love, ancient powers, and the lengths we'll go to protect those we love. Set in a richly imagined world where magic runs deep but prejudice runs deeper, Bound by Iron & Blood explores themes of identity, belonging, and the cost of breaking cycles of violence. This gripping story will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin's The Broken Earth trilogy and V.E. Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic, Bound By Iron & Blood combines intimate character drama with epic world-building in a story that questions what it means to be family-and what it costs to be free.
