The latest from D. E. Carlson

The enemy grins.

Darkness falls.

One choice will save or doom them all.

Iris has killed the Fire Emperor.

The Dragonbloods have declared war.

The sun sets on the mightiest empire the world has ever known.

But at the heart of it…

Darkness lives on.

______________

Iris has done enough. She’s freed the world of the emperor who enslaved and oppressed them. She’s opened the gates of the Fire City and welcomed invading forces in.

She could rest.

But the game is not over.

For though Ahl has been driven back, he is far from dead, and already he has found a new puppet.

How do you win against a demon?

_____________

To Bind the Stars is the epic conclusion to the Empire of Ash and Song series! Perfect for fans of the faith themes of the Chronicles of Narnia, the powerful writing style of A Court of Thorns and Roses, and the clean, sweet romance of Caraval.

How Fantasy used to be?

Here's what readers are saying about To Bind Fire

"Cover? Stunning. Story? EVEN MORE SO. Fantasy anything is a favorite and this was AMAZING. The characters and their conflicts, the world building, and the pacing throughout.. never a dull moment or lull."

- Stephanie, Goodreads

"5 STAAARSSSS!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOVED this book. It gave me MAJOR Narñia and Throne of Glass vibes for sure! It was refreshing reading a straight fantasy book for a change! Dragons in there as well! There was a bit of romance but it is a YA Christian fantasy and it was well written! I tend to lean more to fantasy with dark romance and this was a great addition to my list of books I love! ❤️🥺"

- Clarissa, Goodreads

"I’m finished! And I’m sad. Sad that I have to wait to read more.

The world building, the character development, it was fantastic. I was pulled into this book and didn’t want to put it down and I really didn’t want it to end.

Carlson has written a beautiful story. One that captures the imagination and brings characters to life."

-Valerie, Goodreads

"With a stunning cover and intriguing synopsis that drew me in immediately, I knew I was in for a fun ride! This is the author’s debut novel and indie published, both things making me hesitant. I admit I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this book had me hooked from the very first sentence! I laughed, I carried, I screamed, I felt every emotion known to mankind!

If you were looking for a gripping, clean, action packed fantasy that will immediately skyrocket to the top of your favorites list, then this is the book for you!"
