This year I decided to consciously read more books by independent and local authors. If you're on the same quest, then hopefully our March TBR will give you some new book recommendations and inspire you to get out of that reading slump.

Book 1
His Inferno by S K May
Ten years ago, Daniella vanished. She left behind her name, her family, and the life that could have destroyed her. In their place, she built a quiet existence in a small town, far from the dangers of the covens.
But secrets don’t stay buried. When Drake, the ruthless High Mage of Vita Flamma, seeks her out, Daniella’s fragile freedom shatters. Mages are never safe from the relentless attacks of the Morteferi—the deadly hunters sworn to destroy all who are blessed with power. His arrival is not just a disruption, but a reminder that no sanctuary lasts forever.
A prophecy written in fire binds Daniella and Drake together, and her unclaimed power is stirring—ready to drag them both into ruin.
Not all power is conjured—some is carved from embers, ruin, and blood.
Book 2
When Darkness Reigns by Leila Thorne
Twenty-one-year-old Skylar Azdaja rules as Queen of Maureia – flame-forged and utterly alone.
With traitors lurking in her court and a dark magic awakening across the six realms, Skylar trusts no one. She’s descended from the first dragons, and the eternal fire in her blood burns hot... and deadly.
When she discovers that her Soul Bonded is none other than her greatest enemy – Demir Vjeran, crown prince of Morgad – she will do anything in her power to break the unbreakable bond. But keeping her friends close and her dangerously seductive enemy closer? That might just cost her everything.
As she fights to resist the pull of the explosive chemistry between them, the King of Morgad is raising a dark army in the shadows – one powerful enough to bring the realms to their knees.
With war on the horizon, Skylar prepares to sacrifice everything to protect her queendom. Even if it means surrendering herself to the bonds of fate... and coming face-to-face with death itself.

Book 3
Null and Void by R.Moody
There is only one thing worse than being born a Patron of the Divine; being branded Null & Void.
Absent of a Gift.
After enduring a life of servitude, Mika, retired assassin and Null, thought she would live out her days alone…
But, once an assassin, always an assassin.
When Mika is sold as a slave—a fate she was promised would never be hers—hope for a solitary life is lost. Now destined for an impossible rescue in a foreign land, her only chance for survival is to fight the destructive rage simmering beneath her skin and learn to trust those around her.
As trust deepens on the journey and a charming new companion fights for her heart, Mika is forced to face the truth of who she is. In the end, she must choose to embrace it or let the rage win, and risk losing it all.
