Steelborn by Taylor J. LaRue

Steelborn is the first book in Taylor J. LaRue's Steelborn Saga, a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance, and her debut novel.

Reya Connery is the Crimson Dagger, the most notorious thief in Rhiterra, with a strict code and a secret she cannot let out. When a heist goes wrong on the eve of clearing her debt to a crime lord, she needs a new plan and a lot of coin, fast. Caelan Halcyon is an immortal warrior with a curse creeping toward his heart, and the one person who might steal the cure in time is the thief he cannot stand. They set out together, and find there is far more at stake than either of their lives.

Romantasy for readers of Danielle L. Jensen and Callie Hart, and for anyone who came to the genre through Sarah J. Maas. Slow burn, with some spice and plenty of violence. This is the standard paperback edition.

'LaRue's writing sparks and shines like the brightest of steel.' Rebecca Ross
