'A scorching love story' - Cosmopolitan

The Instant Sunday Times Bestseller!

Firebird is a dark, brooding romantasy from Juliette Cross, full of enemies-to-lovers steam. It is the first fiery book in the The Fire That Binds dark romantasy series.

A CONQUEROR CAPTIVATED . . .
Julian Dakkia, Roman general and nephew to the emperor, has played his role well. Yet, the moment he laid eyes on Malina, he was enthralled by the Dacian dancer. Years later she stands before him, a captive on a scarred battlefield. He instinctively shifts into his fierce dragon form to save her, an action that may mean his head on the imperial gate.

A WITCH PROPHESIED TO SAVE THEM ALL . . .
The rules of their world dictate that he is the conqueror and she is the captured. But he knows their bond has nothing to do with the laws of Rome. She belongs to them. And they belong to her.

Fierce and powerful, twenty-one-year-old Malina has survived the loss of her family and is determined to fight. But she cannot deny how her soul has always seemed to answer his.

Slowly she learns that Julian is caught in his mad uncle's machinations for domination, and helps him plot the downfall of the empire itself.

AN UNFORGIVING WORLD WHERE DRAGONS RULE . . .
As they navigate a world where flying deathriders conquer and burn, their love will ignite a firestorm that can only end in heartbreak or death. Or both.

Firebird is an adult romantasy novel that contains dark themes, including slavery in Ancient Rome, which may be unsuitable for some readers.
