Flameborne

Flameborne is a slow-burn, mythical-world romantasy perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros's Fourth Wing, and Sarah J. Maas's ACOTAR series—in which one broken woman and her dragon wage war with centuries-old tradition and the men who uphold it.

They all expect her to fall. Only one man believes she can fly.

Lowborn Bren never imagined she'd meet a dragonfury face-to-face. But when Ruin, her first love and a newly raised Furyknight, is sent on his first mission, Bren leaves the safety of her family's farm and stumbles through the night to surprise and farewell him. Instead, she discovers her lover's betrayal.

Shamed, broken, and reeling, Bren climbs the Dragonmaw cliffs to end her life, only to be saved—and bonded—by a dragon.

Now, as the first ever female Flameborne, Bren must earn her place among the Furyknights, a hallowed, all-male society of dragon riders. Her mere existence is the breach of a centuries-old tradition. Yet, when the dragons embrace her, the men have no choice but to watch and wait for her to go up in flames.

Her only willing ally is the fabled Battle Commander, Donavyn Arsen. Donavyn knows dragons don't make mistakes. He agrees to train Bren in secret to prepare her for the Trials. But with so many hours alone, the pair's mutual respect deepens into something more.

Something forbidden.

The #1 bestselling serial author, Aimee Lynn, ignites a fierce new world in which a broken young woman must find the strength to claim love—and a future no one believed she'd survive.
