A Fate Forged in Fire - Hazel McBride

Born to rule. Blessed by fire. Broken by desire.

Once a territory built on matriarchal rule, Tìr Teine has been without a female heir for centuries and an oppressive anti-magic teaching has infected the land - leading to the tragic decline of the dragons.

Gifted with fire magic from the Goddess Brigid, Aemyra has hidden in the shadows for years, waiting for the king to die so she can bond to his dragon, claim her birthright and protect her people.

But when her carefully laid plans are foiled, Aemyra is thrust into a deadly game of politics and plots. Her greatest enemy? Prince Fiorean - the dragon-riding, fire-wielding royal whose icy arrogance and raw power thwart her every step.

As chaos engulfs the court, Aemyra and Fiorean are forced to forge an uneasy alliance that ignites into something neither of them can control.

Behind enemy lines and slowly falling for the one man she cannot trust, Aemyra begins to uncover the true weight of the crown. How much is she willing to sacrifice to claim her throne?
