Fireborne is everything I want in fantasy – Rachel Hartman, New York Times bestselling author——–The first book in an epic dystopian fantasy trilogy that’s full of dragons, rivalry and impossible choices. When the revolution came, everything changed. The old rulers were overthrown and the city’s traditions were shattered. Annie and Lee grew up in the aftermath, their lives shaped by the chaos.

Brought together in the same orphanage and despite their differences, they became each other’s closest allies. But years of training have turned their friendship into rivalry as they now compete to lead the city’s legendary dragonriders.

Just as they’re finding their footing, a new threat arises: survivors of the old regime are back, determined to take revenge. As dragons soar into battle and the city’s future hangs in the balance, Annie and Lee must decide what truly matters: the bonds of family, the loyalty of friendship, or the destiny they’ve been fighting for all along.

This thrilling fantasy of courage, betrayal, and the choices that shape us, written by internationally bestselling author Rosaria Munda, is a powerful story about discovering where you belong and who you are willing to fight for.
