Blood & Fury

Prepare for the gripping conclusion to the Chaos & Flame saga as Darling struggles to master her new Phoenix powers, carry the heavy responsibility of reuniting the fractured Houses, and somehow salvage her relationship with the heir of House Dragon.

“This fast-paced, action-filled fantasy reads like a mix of Game of Thrones and Avatar: The Last Airbender.”—BCCB on Chaos & Flame

“A nuanced story with a cast readers will cheer for.”—Kirkus Review

A single kiss has set the world ablaze.

Picking up months after betrayal transformed Darling Seabreak into the Phoenix and every House regent into their empyreal form, Darling struggles to make sense of her destiny as a legendary creature. How can she, an orphan with no family, be the one to reunite the fractured Houses and bring about peace if she can’t control the magic of her new body?

Talon Goldhoard, still in love with Darling but wounded by her betrayal, is tasked with ending the war that his family instigated. With the Phoenix reborn, Talon is hopeful that the bloodshed will end swiftly. Instead, the kingdom grows more fraught, with the threat of violence ever present—especially from dark forces within the walls of his own House Dragon.

As Chaos reigns, Talon and Darling must find their way back to each other—not only to survive but to save the kingdom. Can Darling harness the ancient magic that runs through her blood to bring about a new peace? Or will the fury that House Dragon fueled for a hundred-year war be too strong to break?
