"My father had one rule: never cross into the Stormlands. The men are said to be monstrous, and the land even worse." Lyra never wanted the life chosen for her. Caged by duty and bound by tradition, she's spent years pushing against the future others decided she should accept. But when a political alliance forces her into the storm-ravaged kingdom she was raised to fear, Lyra finds herself face-to-face with a man who threatens to upend everything she thought she knew-about the Stormlands, and herself. Gale thought he knew what he wanted. Once, he had a future. A name. A place in the world. Now, he fights to survive one job at a time-until the Sunfields princess crashes into his path with fire in her voice and defiance in her eyes. Escorting her was supposed to be simple. But the closer they get, the more he begins to wonder if the future he lost is worth chasing... or if something new is calling him forward. As tensions rise and kingdoms edge closer to war, Lyra and Gale must choose between the paths they were given, and the one they're burning to carve for themselves. A centuries old feud. A shut border. Slumbering Gods. Their love could end a war... or ignite one. A Kingdom of Fire & Rain is the first novel in the World of Veythara series, perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom and From Blood & Ash. Perfect for readers who love: - Enemies-to-lovers- Forced proximity- Protective male leads- Political marriages and rebellion- Deep world-building and yearning- Princess and knight fans / bodyguard trope- One bed / one horse adventures Fans of Danielle L. Jensen, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Holly Black, and Sarah J. Maas will be swept away by this tale of duty, desire, and destiny.
