Throne of Ice and Blood by Marion Blackwood

Throne of Ice and Blood is a high-stakes romantic fantasy ("romantasy") novel by Marion Blackwood, originally published in February 2025. It serves as the gripping second installment in her popular Flame and Thorns series, frequently pitched to readers as Fourth Wing meets Powerless.

The story continues the journey of Selena, a powerful Fae heroine. Having survived the brutal Atonement Trials of the first book, Selena is adjusting to a dangerous new life outside the Seelie Court. Her goal remains unchanged: she is fully committed to working with the underground resistance to overthrow the tyrannical Iceheart Dynasty.

However, her mission puts her directly at odds with Draven Ryat, her former captor and reluctant ally. When high-profile elite figures start turning up dead, a deadly game of cat-and-mouse begins. Draven is officially tasked with tracking down and catching the murderer, while Selena is covertly working to protect and aid the killer. Bound together by an intense, toxic, and deeply complicated attraction, both are forced to hide dangerous secrets from one another. Selena must eventually face a agonizing choice: pull off the rebellion's master plan or protect the life of the man she is fast falling for.
