What to expect

❤️‍🔥👑THE SEARING ROMANTIC FANTASY PHENOMENON CONTINUES ❤️‍🔥👑

Revenge is a fire that burns bright in the epic finale of the Celtic-inspired romantasy duology that began with A Fate Forged in Fire, an instant Sunday Times bestseller🔥

Aemyra Daercathian is a queen on the run.

Having failed to take Àird Lasair and been betrayed by her husband - whom she had grown to trust and was beginning to fall for during her time in captivity - Aemyra is forced to retreat with a raging desire for revenge. She vows to defeat the Covenanters and fulfil a sacred promise to kill Fiorean.

But no one can know the truth.

Although Aemyra has a fierce dragon and a large army of Dùileach fighting by her side, she has lost what's most important - her fire magic. Haunted by her love for her enemy and unsure if she is even Goddess-blessed anymore, Aemyra must make a new kind of alliance, one that could mean winning back her territory. At a cost to her heart . . .

From the ashes, Aemyra must emerge as a new kind of queen. Will she be the dawn for her people or the fire that burns everything to the ground?

Critics Review

A magnificent conclusion to McBride's epic, feminist fantasy. A story gorgeous, violent, chaotic, in which 'all is fair in love and war' is taken to new and literal extremes. Aemyra's growth drives the narrative as she learns the human cost of war and what it truly means to rule. McBride deftly weaves political machinations, romance, and truly epic battles on dragon back; this book is a full sensory experience, addictive and action-packed.
Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for your Enemy
I could read a hundred novels set in the world Hazel McBride has created - steeped in Celtic mythology, it's so vivid it feels like a character itself! After Fiorean's betrayal, I was rooting for Aemyra as she rose from the ashes and became a true queen. A Queen Crowned in Flames is an epic and satisfying conclusion!
Demi Winters, author of The Road of Bones and Kingdom of Claw
A Queen Crowned in Flames is a sizzling, cinematic finale that raises all of the stakes from book one. We follow Aemyra on her journey to claim her rightful throne, battling through betrayal and bloodshed. But the toughest battle Aemyra must face is within herself and McBride explores this character growth with such depth and honesty, making us fall even more in love with our feisty, fiery queen. A thrilling conclusion to this epic duology that is sure to leave hearts racing (for more reasons than one!).
Rosie Hewlett, bestselling author of Medea
A Queen Crowned in Flames is a scorching, triumphant finale that is equal parts epic and unforgettable. A masterful exploration of fury, love, and the fire it takes to rise as a queen. I will devour anything Hazel McBride writes.
Logan Karlie, NYT Bestselling Author of Dream by the Shadows
A Queen Crowned in Flames is a stunning conclusion to Aemyra's story. The perfect mix of female rage, revolution and a love strong enough to burn down a world - and remake it anew.
Holly Race, author of Six Wild Crowns
This scorching sequel digs its teeth in from page one and never lets go. The dragons? Epic. The men? Kneeling before their fiery queen, where they belong. A Queen Crowned in Flames solidifies McBride as a fresh, pulse-pounding voice in romantic fantasy, and I can't wait to see where her world takes us next.
S. A. MacLean, bestselling author of The Phoenix Keeper
