by Hazel McBrideTo become the first queen in centuries, a powerfully blessed blacksmith must use her wits and fire magic to overthrow the corrupt powers ruling her kingdom—while also fighting her growing desire for one of her dragon-riding adversaries—in the first book of a sizzling Celtic-inspired fantasy romance duology.Once a territory built on matriarchal rule and values, Tìr Teine has since grown frail from a long line of fruitless kings, the most recent of which have ruled under the influence of the True Religion, an oppressive group who have steadily poisoned the region with their anti-magic teachings.Born to rule and blessed by fire, Aemyra has begrudgingly lived in hiding rather than risk her life in court, waiting in anticipation for the current king&’s death so she can bond to his dragon, claim her throne, and protect her people. But when the king dies and Aemyra is ready to take what is rightfully hers, her ambitious plan is foiled, and she is thrust into a game of vicious politics and plots.Her biggest adversary is Prince Fiorean, a dragon rider and one of the most powerful fire wielders in the territory. Cold, arrogant, and blindly supportive of his corrupt family, he is everything Aemyra despises. But as chaos engulfs the court, they find themselves reluctantly entwined, forced to forge an uneasy alliance—one that quickly ignites into something more dangerous than either of them expected.Behind enemy lines and slowly falling for her so-called adversary, Aemyra uncovers just how far the rot of corruption has spread, and what she may have to sacrifice to claim her throne.

A Fate Worse Than Dragons
by John MooreIn the forest primeval of the Twenty Kingdoms, it's always lunchtime. At least it is for dragons, who like their meat two-legged, live, and, well, roasted. Fledgling knight Terry is in hot pursuit of such a creature, for he's in love with Princess Gloria, daughter of the King of Medula, and desperate for a credible way of claiming her hand in marriage. But when he finally succeeds in killing the beast currently scorching the Medulan countryside, he finds he's chased it over the border into Oblongata-obliging him to marry that kingdom's Princess Jane. Crazy Jane, as she's widely known. Given to long conversations with pot roasts, pork chops and other forms of cooked meat. Fortunately, Terry's loyal squire is prepared to take the fall-er, credit-for the feat and marry the addled girl . . . leaving the young knight stranded in his quest to become a hero. Meanwhile, back in Medula, Princess Gloria has problems all her own. While she anxiously waits to hear that her beloved Terry has slain a dragon, her mother the Queen informs her that she will marry Roland, handsome scion to the wealthy Westfield bakers. Well, handsome and rich are all well and good, but how can a princess marry the mere patent holder for sliced bread... particularly when no one can prove this new-fangled product is even safe to eat? Determined to escape the betrothal, Gloria devises a bold plan that will guarantee her marriage to Terry, and a life lived happily ever after. But not before a knight is benighted, a princess is abducted, a noble is hoist by his own petard, a baker earns his keep, an ogre regrets his eyesight and a tavern maid . . . oh, read the book to find out. In the land of the Twenty Kingdoms, there can be strange fates indeed.
