Fireborne

Seraphina meets Red Rising in a debut young adult fantasy that's full of rivalry, romance . . . and dragons.

Annie and Lee were just children when a brutal revolution changed their world. Where once, dragons were ridden by the aristocracy alone, now anyone-including the lowborn-can have wealth, an education, and even test into the governing class of dragonriders.

Now Annie and Lee are both rising stars in the new regime, despite backgrounds that couldn't be more different. Annie's lowborn family was executed by dragonfire, while Lee comes from one of the aristocratic families that was slaughtered in the revolution. Growing up in the same orphanage forged their friendship, and seven years of training have made them rivals for the top position in the dragonriding fleet.

Everything changes when survivors from the old regime resurface, bent on reclaiming the city.

With war on the horizon and his relationship with Annie changing fast, Lee must choose between killing the only family he has left, or betraying everything he's come to believe in. And Annie must decide whether to protect the boy she loves . . . or step up to be the champion her city needs.

Packed with dragon tournaments, political intrigue, and romance, Fireborne calls into question which matters most: the family you were born into, or the one you've chosen.
