Val’s Song Is Here: The Bound Flame Has Landed

By

Every world has a heartbeat.
Every dragon has a song.
And today, I finally get to share one of the most meaningful pieces of the Dragon Queen universe with you.

✨ Val’s theme, The Bound Flame, is now live on all major streaming platforms.

This is more than a soundtrack. It is a story set to music. It is the pulse of a dragon haunted by corruption, bound by destiny, and tethered to Jasmine through fire and fate. It is the sound of wings beating in the dark and a soul fighting to stay free.

When I first imagined Val, I heard her long before I saw her.
Her power.
Her grief.
Her loyalty.
Her rage.

I knew she needed a theme that captured the ancient, aching, burning heart of a dragon queen’s companion. Something that felt like flame and shadow, like myth and memory, like a cry across realms.

Thanks to you, that song exists.

This community helped bring the Dragon Queen world to life in so many ways, from the special editions to the lore to the emotional resonance that lives in every chapter. Now, the music is part of that legacy too, and I cannot thank you enough.

✨ Please listen. Please share. Help spread the fire.
Your support turns a single spark into a blaze.

Whether you are writing, reading, dreaming, or soaring through your day, I hope this song carries you deeper into the heart of Val’s journey.

Thank you for being part of this magic.
There is more music coming. More lore. More fire.

Stay tuned, dragonheart. The world is growing.

Tina Glasneck Launches New Romantasy, A Dragon’s Queen, Blending Dragons, Fae Courts, and Forbidden Love

Author shares how the magnetic stage energy of Stray Kids’ Felix added nuance to her fae prince Callen Blackthorne, a character already built to captivate romantasy fans.

RICHMOND, Va. – Oct. 1, 2025 — USA Today bestselling author Tina Glasneck is set to captivate romantasy readers with her forthcoming release, A Dragon’s Queen, the first book in The Dragon Queen Trilogy. A sweeping romantasy of dragons, danger, and desire, A Dragon’s Queen follows Jasmine as she is thrust into the perilous intrigues of the Unseelie Court. She must prove her worth in brutal magical trials—all while resisting her dangerous attraction to Callen Blackthorne, the fae prince whose shadowed past could either save her or destroy everything she loves.

Glasneck reveals that Callen’s piercing, ethereal presence was enhanced by the magnetic stage energy Felix brings to performances like “Maniac.”

“I was introduced to K-pop through a friend, and soon found myself with Stray Kids on repeat while writing,” Glasneck shares. “There’s even a phrase on TikTok—the ‘Felix Effect’—that perfectly captures the charisma I wanted for Callen. Art inspires art, and writers are no different. I had already built Callen. However, watching Felix perform sparked new layers of nuance and presence that I was able to season into the character. I am so proud of this three-dimensional fae prince who remains entirely his own.”

Blending lush worldbuilding, political intrigue, and slow-burn romance, A Dragon’s Queen will appeal to fans of Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses. With dragons bound by ancient magic and a heroine navigating deadly trials in the Unseelie Court, the novel delivers danger, desire, and mythic stakes in equal measure.

About A Dragon’s Queen
In this darkly enchanting romantasy, Jasmine must navigate deadly magical trials in the heart of the Unseelie Court. Stripped of certainty and hunted by those who fear her power, she faces impossible choices—especially when it comes to Callen Blackthorne, the brooding fae prince whose shadowed past could either save her or shatter the realm itself.
