Bound in Flames
Bound in Flames | Missy S Castillo
1 post | 1 read
When Cleo is rescued by Dex, a ruthless orc chieftain of the Blackfoot Clan, she's thrust into a world ruled by savage loyalty and primal power. For centuries, the humans and orcs have been locked in brutal war after the Ostelan Crown broke the ancient treaties, driving the orcs into hiding. Now, Cleo's untamed magic is the key to saving the orcs-but it also tempts her with a darkness she may not escape. As her power grows and her bond with Dex deepens, she faces an impossible choice: choose to fulfill the prophecy, sacrificing herself, or surrender to the seductive magic and risk everything to be with the one she loves. Dex has vowed to protect his people at any cost, even if it means using the woman fate has bound to him. But Cleo's fire stirs something primal in him-something far more dangerous than war. As tensions rise and the stakes grow higher, Dex must decide whether his duty to his clan outweighs the undeniable pull of his heart.

Bound in Flames | Missy S Castillo

This starts with a classic fantasy premise of a commoner wanting more out of life. Castillo put her characters into difficult situations and surprised me with how the characters moved forward. Cleo and Dex challenge each other and the progression of their relationship feels realistic. When the setting is fantasy, it is the characters' flaws that bring the story back down to earth and make it believable. This book is spicy with a high-stakes plot.
