Empire of Flame and Thorns

Marion Blackwood

Book 1 of Flame and Thorns

In a fantasy world where the Seelie fae are enslaved by dragon shifters, a rebellious fae woman named Selena enters a brutal, high-stakes competition known as the Atonement Trials in hopes of winning her freedom. Standing in her way is Draven, the dragon army's ruthless commander, who is determined to see her fail even as an undeniable and dangerous attraction builds between them. As the trials grow deadlier and secrets about Selena's ties to a hidden rebellion threaten to surface, both must decide how far they're willing to go for survival, loyalty, and each other. The story blends fast-paced fantasy action with an enemies-to-lovers romance set against a tense political backdrop.
