BOUND BY IRON & BLOOD (aka Flight of Yellow Falcons)

Prequel to The Metalist's Journey

To Be Published Soon...

Not all gifts are meant to be passed down.

In Kobiton, Charlotte's magical abilities made her valuable but never truly free. When fate delivers her to a family of secretive miners in the Kruluver Mountains, she discovers a power unlike anything she's known—and a love that defies generations of tradition. But in caves where metal sings and blood carries magic, some flames must be extinguished before they burn too bright.

Not every story has a fairy tale ending.


In this stunning standalone novel, KD Lumsden weaves a tale of forbidden love, ancient powers, and the lengths we'll go to protect those we love. Set in a richly imagined world where magic runs deep but prejudice runs deeper, Bound by Iron & Blood explores themes of identity, belonging, and the cost of breaking cycles of violence. This gripping story will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin's The Broken Earth trilogy and V.E. Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic, Flight of Yellow Falcons combines intimate character drama with epic world-building in a story that questions what it means to be family - and what it costs to be free.
