Bookseller recommendation

“ Fourth Wing meets Throne of Glass = Fear The Flames. I fell in love with all of the characters and really enjoyed the found family aspects of this book. The dragons took a while to make an appearance (there's a big journey to get to them) but when they did, they brought a smile to my face.”

“I LOVED Elowen and Cayden. Their romance happens quite quickly in this book which normally isn’t my favorite, but their banter was so fun to read and I enjoyed watching Elowen fruitlessly deny her feelings for Cayden. This book gave us found family, dragons, a quest for vengeance, a ruthless fmc, and a mmc with a dirty mouth who would burn the world for the fmc!!! This was a great debut and I will definitely be picking up book 2!! ”

“My new favorite book is a true masterpiece of romantasy, with all the tropes I love - found family, reluctant ally to lover, one bed, and never a dull moment in between! The exiled Queen Elowen teamed up with her father’s enemy to seek revenge and rescue her imprisoned dragons. I loved how confident and badass Elowen is, and how far she'll go to protect her peeps. I fell in love with Cayden, he was sarcastic, funny, protective, flirty, a piano player, and a book lover! Magical!!!”

“Well, what can I say about perfection? Seriously... I promise you this was better than Fourth Wing (yeah I said it). The FMC rivals Aelin from Throne of Glass. The MMC was perfectly broody and murderous. This was an epic, high-stakes heist deep in a political fantasy world. Elowen is the lost princess of Atarah. She is ripped away from her five dragons at a young age and imprisoned for years. Now she will do anything to get her dragons back, even if that means teaming up with the enemy and starting a war. ”

Summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An exiled princess teams up with the last man she thought she could trust in the start of a dazzling and unforgettable epic fantasy romance series.

As a child, Elowen Atarah was ripped away from her dragons and imprisoned by her father, King Garrick of Imirath. Years later, Elowen is now a woman determined to free her dragons. Having established a secret kingdom of her own called Aestilian, she’s ready to do what’s necessary to save her people and seek vengeance. Even if that means having to align herself with the Commander of Vareveth, Cayden Veles, the most feared and dangerous man in all the kingdoms of Ravaryn.

Cayden is ruthless, lethal, and secretive, promising to help Elowen if she will stand with him and all of Vareveth in the pending war against Imirath. Despite their contrasting motives, Elowen can’t ignore their undeniable attraction as they combine their efforts and plot to infiltrate the impenetrable castle of Imirath to steal back her dragons and seek revenge on their common enemy.

As the world tries to keep them apart, the pull between Elowen and Cayden becomes impossible to resist. Working together with their crew over clandestine schemes, the threat of war looms, making the imminent heist to free her dragons their most dangerous adventure yet. But for Elowen, her vengeance is a promise signed in blood, and she’ll stop at nothing to see that promise through.

An immersive fantasy filled with a sizzling reluctant-allies-to-lovers romance, a world to get lost in, dangerous quests, dragon bonds, and an entertaining band of characters to root for, Fear the Flames marks the stunning debut of Olivia Rose Darling.
