The Hearthbound Mandate: The Complete Trilogy: Books 1-3
(2026)(A book in the Hearthbound series)
An omnibus of novels by Saeri Doan
Three impossible emergencies. One magical Hearth. Four adults learning that love is not ownership—and power must always leave an exit.
This complete trilogy contains all three novels in The Hearthbound Mandate:
Book One: The Uncrowned Hearth
After dying in a Chicago hotel fire, Ione Venn awakens as the provisional host of a ruined magical inn. When thirteen thousand refugees reach its doors and an ancient Civil Peace Engine moves to crown her, she must build a commons that can survive without a sovereign.
Book Two: The Giant Who Rented the Moon
The old-gold moon vanishes from the sky. Tides reverse, moon roads fail, and a grieving giant arrives carrying an impossible request. Ione and her household must help a moon choose where home will be—before three nations turn the crisis into permanent command.
Book Three: The Last War Was a Wedding
A War Mandate demands a wedding witnessed by all three crowns. Armies enter as guests, weapons become ceremonial objects, and four lovers must end the conflict without allowing marriage to become conquest.
Across magical inns, maritime routes, dragon skies, fairy courts, giant pastures, celestial roads, and one catastrophically political wedding, Ione, Jex, Vauren, and Lysenne build a household where every bond can be chosen, amended, and left.
The Hearthbound Mandate: The Complete Trilogy is an adult queer epic-fantasy collection featuring political intrigue, a central sapphic second-chance romance, a developing polyamorous household, found family, dragons, fairies, giants, low-spice slow burn, dry humor, and cozy warmth under world-changing stakes.
