Empire of Flame and Thorns

Autor: Marion Blackwood

The narrative centers on Selena Hale, a sharp-tongued Fae rebel who lives trapped within the Seelie Court by an impenetrable forest of thorns. The Fae are entirely at the mercy of their oppressive rulers: a ruthless regime of dragon shifters. Selena’s only avenue to win her freedom from the court is to enter the Atonement Trials—a lethal, highly selective competition that forces Fae magic-users to fight against one another until only three victors remain. Standing directly in her path is Draven Ryat, the deadly commander of the dragon shifter army. Draven is determined to see her fail the trials. Selena must hide her secret alliance with the underground Fae rebellion at all costs; if Draven discovers her true loyalties, her chance at freedom is gone, and he will execute her. However, forced proximity during the trials ignites a dangerous, mutual attraction between them.
