DELUXE EDITION—featuring beautiful original illustrated stenciled edges with a foil case stamp, and designed endpapers! An instant New York Times bestseller! In a world ruled by dragons, a Roman general, Julian Dakkia, becomes captivated by Malina, a Dacian dancer, during his conquest. Years later, he finds her as a captive on a battlefield, and instinctively shifts into his dragon form to save her, risking his life in the process. The laws of Rome dictate he is the conqueror, and she the captured, but their bond transcends these rules; they belong to each other. Malina, a fierce twenty-one-year-old, has endured the loss of her family and is determined to fight for her survival. Shocked to discover that the centurion who once gifted her a talisman is now the infamous general holding her fate, she grapples with her undeniable connection to him. As she learns of Julian's entanglement in his uncle's ruthless schemes for power, she aids him in plotting the empire's downfall. Amidst a perilous world of flying deathriders and destruction, their love ignites a tumultuous firestorm that threatens to end in heartbreak or death. This fantasy explores dark themes, including elements of master/slave relationships and dubious consent. Readers sensitive to these topics should take note.
