Moonfire & Iron

MOONFIRE AND IRON - A Dark, Steamy Romantasy by Dahlia Quinn

Dahlia Quinn first major novel. She is a former sex worker turned author whose consent-forward, working-class erotica and essays celebrate the fierce, complicated tenderness of being alive.

He hunts witches. She was born of moonfire.

When a demon prince crosses the Veil, the only way to stop him is a blood-binding between sworn enemies.

Liora Veyr has spent years outrunning the Order's silver manacles, hiding the moonfire burning in her veins. Kael Draven is the Order's most feared hunter-cold, relentless, built to bring women like her to the pyre. But in a ruined chapel, their magic tangles with iron and heat, forging a dangerous pact: hunt the demon together... or burn alone.

As a cathedral city trembles-arches humming, bells cracking, doors learning to say no-Liora and Kael track a monster through alleys, catacombs, and rain-slick rooftops. Every fight pulls them closer. Every shared breath turns the chain between them from leash to promise. Consent becomes the hottest word on the page, and desire becomes a weapon neither of them can sheathe.

When the Order's sainted abbot proves more dangerous than any fiend, Liora must choose: betray the man who was sent to break her-or bind him to her forever and set the city on fire.

MOONFIRE AND IRON is a slow-burn, high-heat fantasy romance where magic tastes like rosemary and smoke, iron learns honesty, and two enemies become lovers without losing their teeth.
