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 Orders silver manacles, hiding the moonfire burning in her veins. Kael Draven is the Orders 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 Orders 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.
