Description

A hot new release by Tanya Nordsvei—author of the “Steel and Cunning” series and the vampire series “Smolder and Sapphires.” A standalone novel about dragon riders and their dragon partners: a romantic fantasy in the spirit of Rebecca Yarros’ “The Fourth Wing,” Alice Jukich’s “The Ice Prince and Blood,” and Sabaa Tahir’s “A Torch Against the Night.”

Rebecca is a half-blood ready to do anything just to get into the Larmar Academy and pull her cadet-brother out of trouble. This is where true dragon riders are trained—as well as the Empire’s mages, warriors, and healers. But the road to Larmar runs through the most dangerous trial of all: she must bind her fate to a dragon that Kyle also wants.

Kyle proposes a deal: Rebecca gets her chance at the dragon, and in return she must uncover information about Shayan—the ruthless commander of the elite rider squad She’ru, the commandant of Larmar, the executioner of half-bloods and rebels. The tension between Shayan and Rebecca sparks from the very first meeting—and quickly turns into something more, especially when dark magic and secrets powerful enough to burn them both come to light. But will Rebecca end up nothing more than a pawn in the schemes of the crafty Kyle?

Expect these tropes:
• riders and their dragons, fae;
• a domineering male hero;
• a rebellious, headstrong heroine;
• “she’s a half-blood, and he executes people like her”;
• “because of their secrets, they can’t be together”;
• “empty” magic, curses;
• a bond with the enemy;
• a heroine used to surviving;
• a found family;
• The Wild Hunt.
