FLAMES OF CHANGE – Dani Loughary (Released October 3rd, 2025)
My Quick Thoughts: If you’re looking for a romantasy series, then you need to get started with the Hearts of Valine series. I devoured book one, Embers of Fate. You definitely need to read that one before diving into this beauty. The cover doesn’t deceive – captivating cover for a captivating and exciting novel.
Book Description:
A queen bound by duty. A warrior promised by fate. A love that could burn the world down—or save it.
Magic, wild and unpredictable, has returned to the realm. As Gwen fights to hold her fractured kingdom together, a power-hungry prince stirs unrest, the Sisters of the Mist teeter on collapse, and the fragile peace her ancestor bled for feels ready to break. Can she forge unity from the chaos before everything she loves is lost? To succeed, Gwen must navigate dangerous alliances and confront truths she never wanted to face about her enemies, her allies, and herself.
At her side stands Tyreal, her fiercest protector, her betrothed, and the man who truly sees her. Their love, once forged in defiance, faces new scrutiny. Whispers rise in court. Can a warrior, born and raised amongst the commoners, truly stand beside a queen? And if their love becomes a liability, can Tyreal face being the reason Gwen loses it all?
With war on the horizon and a force rising that could remake the world, Gwen and Tyreal must decide not only what they’re willing to fight for, but who they are willing to become… before everything they love turns to ash.
