Flamebound
A century ago, the Blood War between humans and vampires ended in a fragile treaty meant to ensure peace. Seven council members were placed in power, tasked with controlling their own kind. In return, humans were required to provide monthly blood rations to keep vampires alive.
Peace was never the result.
In this world, human bodies have become currency—bought and consumed in the name of survival. Corruption thrives behind the illusion of order, and the treaty meant to protect humanity has only tightened its chains.
Zyrenna is a mortal woman who knows what desperation costs. After losing her parents, her younger sister is all she has left—and Zyrenna will do anything to protect her. Even if it means offering her own blood for money. Even if it means repeating the same choice that once got her mother killed.
What she doesn’t expect is to cross paths with one of the Seven.
Rhaelin is everything Zyrenna should fear: a vampire council member, an enforcer of the Spire, and the most lethal of them all. Their encounter is meant to be nothing more than a transaction—but something dangerous ignites between them that day, leaving neither unchanged.
As Zyrenna is pulled deeper into a world built on blood and control, Rhaelin begins to unravel—his need to protect her turning feral, possessive, and treacherous to the very system he represents. Bound by desire, power, and a truth neither can escape, they stand on opposite sides of a fragile peace that was never meant to last.
In a world where bodies are claimed and blood is law, love may be the most dangerous rebellion of all.
Flamebound is Book One of the Thrones of the Veil trilogy.

this was so good for a debut novel oh my god, i was hooked from the first sentence and devoured this in less than 24 hours.
humans and vampires live amongst each other after the blood war ends. humans basically rely on vampires for survival and have to give their blood in exchange for money.
this story had a completely unique magic system and the world building was so descriptive i could immediately picture where things were taking place and felt completely immersed into the story.
zyrenna our fmc brings up her sister alone after losing their parents. you can feel her struggle of trying to navigate her grief whilst trying to do everything to keep her sister safe. the eldest daughter in me felt for her so much.
rhaelin our vampire mmc is a tortured soul and it broke my heart learning about his past and his own grief. his favourite colour being the colour of zyrenna’s eyes??! ugh i’m a sucker for that shit.
the banter between rhaelin and zyrenna had me giggling and the TENSION OMG. the patience this man had good god. i was literally BEGGING for them to give in to each other!!!
i’m hoping we will see more of the embers inner circle in the next book as i didn’t feel we had enough exploration of their characters but this was sooooo good!!!!

Truly an incredibly well written/thought out story. Will keep you invested and on your toes from the start to the end, might even have you miss your train stop for work like me because you’re so invested and cannot peel yourself away. Definitely leaves you not only wanting but needing more… cannot wait for the next book!!! I have the pleasure of personally knowing the author and am in absolute awe of her hard work and dedication, definitely felt like she had written hundreds of books by how good it was. So so so proud and would for sure will recommend for the rest of my life!!!!

****ARC REVIEW****
I received this ARC from the author.
I really enjoyed this book, it is a different take on vampires. It is a post apocalyptic fantasy novel that takes place after a war between vampires and humans and occurs in the aftermath of the humans’ defeat.
It is a medium burn romance with yearning, fated mates, and a hidden rebellion.
it ends on a cliffhanger and I am excited to see where the story will go in the next book.
Overall, this was a solid four star read for me, which means that I really enjoyed it, and I would read it again. It also means that I will continue the series.
I would rate the spice at 2/5. There were only a few spicy scenes, which did not rival the overall plot.

ARC Review
Thank you to the author for sending me an ARC in exchange for an honest review! Flamebound releases March 18th!
The beginning was a little hard for me to follow while I was getting used to the world building and characters, but the story quickly picked up, and I was hooked. As someone who loves vampire stories, this one was especially interesting to me and kept me wanting to know what would happen next.
This book features enemies to lovers and forbidden love, which are two of my favorite tropes, and the tension between the characters made the story so engaging.
Overall, I gave Flamebound 4⭐️ and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing where the story goes next in the series!
