THE HIGH-STAKES SUSPENSE AND DRAMA OF JAMES PATTERSON MEET THE LUSH WORLD-BUILDING AND ROMANCE OF HAZEL McBRIDE.

All it takes is one spark … to ignite an inferno.

In a kingdom ruled by twin silver-haired princes, shapeshifters are hunted to extinction and magical creatures—griffins, ogres and mermaids—are caged for the Crown’s amusement.  

Eight years ago, two brave students dared to fight back in a rebellion that ended in fire and blood. Julianna Gayne was left for dead and Raal Dawner branded a traitor, exiled into the Wilds. But the people of Veladon still whisper about the legendary firefox who will save them…

Julianna has never stopped fighting, and now has a chance to destroy the Crown’s brutal regime from within. But an unexpected reunion with Raal changes everything. He’s no longer the boy she once loved, tormented by his inability to protect the ones most important to him.

As the kingdom edges toward war, Julianna must decide who’s more dangerous: a prince who may be hiding a conscience beneath his crown—or the elusive firefox shifter whose betrayal still burns as fiercely as the magic between them.

• “A Fate Forged in Fire delivers visceral action, dagger-to-throat enemies to lovers, lush worldbuilding, and explosive female rage—everything I could want in a romantasy. McBride’s prose is addictive and her storytelling cinematic. Rarely have I been so swept away.”

• “Lovers of Rebecca Yarros, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Danielle L. Jensen are going to want to dive into [this] world.”
