Description
ColdIron by Meg Xuemei X is an epic fantasy romance and the opening volume of the Blood and Bond series. Eighty-one years after a quantum bomb shattered civilization, North America has fractured into four warring kingdoms ruled by magic and monsters. The story follows a young woman who survived the ruins as a slave in a Coldiron mine, disguised as a boy to shield her little sister, and who finally claws her way to freedom only to land in the orbit of four immortal princes: a Fae heir, a vampire, a shifter, and a dragon. Running 356 pages from House of Shades and Fantasy, it pairs a hard-forged heroine with a slow-burning romance and a buried secret that could unravel everything she is fighting to protect. The author pitches it squarely at readers who loved Fourth Wing, Shield of Sparrows, and Zodiac Academy.

Why We Think It Should Be Your Next Book
If you like your fantasy with a heroine who has been through hell and came out sharpened rather than broken, ColdIron delivers. It is a fast, immersive read that builds a war-torn world without burying it in exposition, sets four dangerous princes against a woman with a secret worth killing for, and leaves you impatient for the next book. Early readers are already calling it spellbinding and impossible to put down, which makes this a strong opening to a series worth getting in on early.
