THE SEARING ROMANTIC FANTASY PHENOMENON CONTINUES Revenge is a fire that burns bright in the epic finale of the Celtic-inspired romantasy duology that began with A Fate Forged in Fire, an instant Sunday Times bestseller.

Aemyra Daercathian is a queen on the run.

Having failed to take Aird Lasair and been betrayed by her husband - whom she had grown to trust and was beginning to fall for during her time in captivity - Aemyra is forced to retreat with a raging desire for revenge. She vows to defeat the Covenanters and fulfil a sacred promise to kill Fiorean.

But no one can know the truth.

Although Aemyra has a fierce dragon and a large army of Duileach fighting by her side, she has lost what's most important - her fire magic. Haunted by her love for her enemy and unsure if she is even Goddess-blessed anymore, Aemyra must make a new kind of alliance, one that could mean winning back her territory. At a cost to her heart...

From the ashes, Aemyra must emerge as a new kind of queen. Will she be the dawn for her people or the fire that burns everything to the ground?

"The perfect mix of female rage, revolution and a love strong enough to burn down a world - and remake it anew" - Holly Race, bestselling author of Six Wild Crowns

"Deftly weaves political machinations, romance and truly epic battles on dragon-back" - Brigitte Knightley, bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for your Enemy

"A thrilling conclusion to this epic duology that is sure to leave hearts racing (for more reasons than one!)" - Rosie Hewlett, bestselling author of Medea

About the Author

Hazel McBride grew up in Scotland, gaining her BSc in Psychology at the University of Glasgow, before living in the Caribbean, Spain and France. She is now settled in the Netherlands with her Dutch husband and is fluent in four languages.

As a former zookeeper, Hazel loves writing about magical and fantastical creatures and as a bisexual author with anxiety, she focuses on writing queer characters and exploring topics such as mental illness within her work. Most of her work draws heavy inspiration from her Scottish heritage and Celtic folklore.

When she isn't writing, Hazel can be found eating chocolate and watching shows that fuel her daydreams about morally grey villains - at least until her incessantly energetic border collie, Whiskey, forces her to get off the couch.
