Book One of the Firebound Trilogy By Omari Renji A fallen princess. A dying dragon. A kingdom on the brink of fire. When Aeryn Velarion awakens the last living dragon buried beneath the Ashlands, she uncovers a long-buried legacy of fire, magic, and betrayal. Branded as the last heir of a broken house, Aeryn is thrust into an ancient war between flame-wielders and a rising cult determined to awaken the Phoenix King—an immortal force of destruction bound in ash. To survive, she must forge a soul-bond with the dragon Vaelrix, master the forbidden magic of her bloodline, and reclaim the power of a forgotten empire. But as enemies close in from every direction, and allies prove just as dangerous, Aeryn must decide: Will she become the queen her world needs? Or the fire that burns it all down? Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Brandon Sanderson, and Rebecca Yarros, Crown of Embers and Sky is the explosive first novel in a fantasy trilogy filled with dragons, elemental magic, slow-burn romance, and a heroine who rises from the ashes.
