Black Fire Wakes
Adult romantic fantasy of dragons, dangerous magic, buried conspiracies, fierce loyalty, complicated love, and a woman determined to decide for herself what—and whom—she is willing to fight for.

A dragon chooses the woman they are about to execute.
In the Empire of Amaranthe, dragons choose their riders, memories can be taken as payment, and the truth is only as reliable as the people powerful enough to preserve it.
Amy Halden has never been good at accepting the version of events she is given. That instinct has already cost her almost everything.
Now she is drawn into a world of dragon riders, military power, ancient magic, and secrets protected by people who have spent years ensuring they remain buried. Every answer exposes another contradiction. Every alliance carries its own price.
And the closer Amy comes to understanding what is happening around her, the less certain she becomes about whom she can trust. Especially when trust becomes tangled with loyalty, desire, and the dangerous possibility of loving people who may still be keeping things from her.
The day everything begins twice.
“The baby has been dead for almost eleven minutes when the boy hears her cry.”
Twenty years later, Amy Halden reaches the scaffold on the same date without knowing what happened in the chamber beneath the mountain.
This is an adult dark romantasy with explicit sexual content, violence and mature themes. The non-spoiler and chapter-specific content guide is available separately.
