The Silk and Iron Trilogy #1
by Jean Kwok
A woman with no past. A warrior with no future. Their love could save the world—or burn it down.
Fourth Wing—by way of Chinese mythology—meets The Hunger Games in a perilous world where a young woman with no memory and little magic may hold the key to uniting the Dominions and saving the mortal realm, from the New York Times bestselling author of Read with Jenna pick Searching for Sylvie Lee and Girl in Translation.
In a world divided into four rival Dominions, power is everything—and Rubi Morningtail has almost none. Three years after the Annihilation destroyed her homeland and shattered her memories, she lives as an Azure refugee in the Dominion of the Silver Tyger, scraping by as a ribbon dancer and hiding her little bit of singing magic. When she wounds a massive battle tyger on her doorstep, she draws the notice of Blake Axefire—supreme metal mage, leader of the royal tyger warriors, and the last man an Azure should trust. His sentence? Cast her into the Bonding, a brutal trial where tygers choose their riders and slaughter the rest. Surviving is unthinkable.
But survive she does. Now she's stuck on Blake's elite team racing to reseal the Anchors to the demon realm. With rebels striking, demons rising, and the Dominions at each other's throats, Rubi must unlock the truth of her magic and her past…while resisting her dangerous attraction to the ruthless warrior who could be her redemption—or her ruin.
"A brilliant, captivating, deeply romantic fantasy debut! Dominion is an addictive read, and it's going to dazzle romantasy readers!" —Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Bride
"A lyrical fantasy where mythology and a hidden past intertwine with dangerous attraction. Dominion is perfect for readers craving the emotional fire and high stakes plotting of KPop Demon Hunters." —Danielle L. Jensen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood
"From the very first line of Dominion, I knew that I was in the hands of a master wordsmith; by the end, I knew that I would be thinking about this book for the rest of my life. This scintillating romantasy from literary superstar Jean Kwok cuts to the quick, equal parts tense and thrilling, each page filled with boundless imagination, evocative prose, and gut-wrenching stakes. I was mesmerized." —Thea Guanzon, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars
