Description

Reya Connery has survived by three rules: trust no thief, always carry a blade, and never let anyone uncover her secrets.

Known throughout Rhiterra as the infamous Crimson Dagger, Reya is a legendary thief with a reputation for stealing the impossible. But when one final heist goes disastrously wrong, leaving her desperate for enough coin to escape a ruthless crime lord, she's forced to accept a job unlike any she's attempted before.

Caelan Halcyon is an immortal warrior running out of time.

A deadly curse is slowly creeping toward his heart, and the only hope of saving him lies in finding a legendary cure. Honorable, powerful, and thoroughly unimpressed by Reya's criminal ways, Caelan can't stand the arrogant thief—but if the stories about the Crimson Dagger are true, she's also the only person capable of saving his life.

Forced to journey together to the edges of the known world, their mutual dislike slowly transforms into a dangerous attraction. But the deeper they travel, the more Reya realizes their mission is connected to something far greater than either of them imagined.

With magic outlawed, rebellion brewing, and the fate of the magic-born hanging in the balance, Reya must finally confront the secrets she's spent her life protecting—and decide whether she can trust the immortal warrior who's becoming impossible to hate.

Action-packed, adventurous, and filled with delicious slow-burn tension, Steelborn is an epic romantasy about a deadly thief, a cursed immortal, and a journey that could ignite a revolution.
