There are two rules for surviving Mogiun: never enter the valley at night, and never venture where the dragons dwell. Once, Vail thought ignoring those rules was her path to freedom. But with dreams of love and a future burned away, she’s focused on a single goal: get her people out of North Mogiun before the valley’s curse consumes them all. With the assistance of South Mogiun, and their leader Lord Casimir, they’re nearly to victory. Until the valley fights back. The land Vail believed she knew is changing. The shades are acting erratic, dragons are patrolling the skies, and somehow the valley has drawn in new servants to kill for it. And when the long-awaited army regiment arrives to help, their arrogance proves to be one more adversary barring their way. Battling shades and dragons within the valley, and the politics of the king’s army without, Vail is nearing the end of her strength. Her best ally might be the ever-composed Lord Casimir. For no matter what she thinks of his rules, or what he thinks of her reckless decisions, they have one advantage in common: they’ve both survived dragon fire. But will their scars be the key to saving the North Mogiun? Or will she watch the rest of her world burn to ash? When Fire Sings is the first book in the Of Flame and Vale trilogy, a frontier steampunk series featuring a determined heroine, slow-burn romance to make you swoon, and a world filled with the wild, untamable beauty of the old west.
