“Looking for an exquisitely written Black Queer fantasy about DRAGONS?!?! Look no further as this Jamaican-inspired tale delivers a new interesting perspective on the chosen-one trope. While also posing the question: can there be peace between warring factions if the weapons of mass destructions (the DRAGONS) are sentient and making unbreakable bonds the opposition? Stunning Debut! Fast paced. Great political intrigue. Multiple POVs. A gut-wrenching cliffhanger ending! I CAN NOT WAIT FOR BOOK 2! ”

“I would have been down to read this book just with the promise of dragons... BUT DRAGONS AND DRAGON MECHAS!!! SOLD 110%!! This book was so fun to read: an outstanding YA fantasy with an interesting twist on the 'Chosen One' trope intermingled with magic, adventure, sisterhood, romance, and war. What happens when you save the world and then ruin it? Please read this book!!! This was a great audiobook on Libro.fm!”

“THIS BOOK HAS EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN A FANTASY! Dragons - magic - awesome sisters - epic battles! Five years after Faron used divine magic to help liberate her island, she is forced to attend an international peace summit. Things go awry when her sister, Elara, bonds to a dragon from the very empire they fought for freedom less than decade ago. As Faron searches desperately for a way to save her sister, Elara focuses on uncovering secrets in the Langlish Empire. I LOVE the relationship Faron and Elara share. While both girls are strong, smart, and caring they think, act, and succeed in very different ways. A fantastic debut novel from Kamilah Cole - I am already anxiously awaiting the sequel! Ages 14+”

Whip-smart and immersive, this Jamaican-inspired fantasy follows a gods-blessed heroine who’s forced to choose between saving her sister or protecting her homeland—perfect for fans of Iron Widow and The Priory of the Orange Tree.
Faron Vincent can channel the power of the gods. Five years ago, she used her divine magic to liberate her island from its enemies, the dragon-riding Langley Empire. But now, at seventeen, Faron is all powered up with no wars to fight. She’s a legend to her people and a nuisance to her neighbors.
When she’s forced to attend an international peace summit, Faron expects that she will perform tricks like a trained pet and then go home. She doesn’t expect her older sister, Elara, forming an unprecedented bond with an enemy dragon—or the gods claiming the only way to break that bond is to kill her sister.
As Faron’s desperation to find another solution takes her down a dark path, and Elara discovers the shocking secrets at the heart of the Langley Empire, both must make difficult choices that will shape each other’s lives, as well as the fate of their world.
"By turns hopeful and devastating, So Let Them Burn is a masterful debut with a blazing heart. I was captivated from beginning to end by Cole’s sharp, clever prose and by her protagonists—two remarkable sisters with an unforgettable bond." — Chelsea Abdullah, author of The Stardust Thief
