“Perfect for readers craving the emotional fire and high stakes plotting of KPop Demon Hunters.”—Danielle Jensen, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Rubi Morningtail remembers almost nothing about her life before she arrived in the fractured world of four warring dominions. With little magical ability to speak of, she's built a quiet life as a ribbon dancer — until the day she wounds a battle tyger and draws the attention of Blake Axefire, a formidable metal mage who leads an elite team of tyger riders.

Rubi is forced into the Bonding, a trial in which tygers choose their riders and most challengers don't survive. She does — and finds herself pulled into Blake's team on a race against time to reseal the Anchors holding back the Demon Realm. As alliances shift and old enemies close in, Rubi has to uncover who she really was before she can decide who she's going to become.

The first book in the Silk and Iron Trilogy, Dominion is a full-throttle fantasy romance: high-stakes worldbuilding drawn from Chinese mythology, a slow-burn central pairing, and a magic system built to surprise you more than once.
