What to expect
'Exactly what you love in a fantasy' ROBIN HOBB
'A fire-new take on dragons' SAMANTHA SHANNON
'Brilliant' HANNAH KANER
The first in an epic fantasy series, with a smouldering forbidden romance, a dangerous heist, a world full of magic, and DRAGONS.
The last male dragon. A desperate thief. A bond that will save the world . . . or shatter it.
Long ago, humans betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Now their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the 'gods' remember, and they do not forgive.
So when thief Arcady casts a spell to steal a powerful artefact and accidentally traps Everen - the last male dragon - in the human world, the consequences are deadly.
Everen soon realises the key to his destiny, and to regaining his true power, lies in Arcady. All he needs to do is convince them to bond with him completely - and then kill them . . .

Lam's Dragonfall is a powerful all-new imagining of dragons and humans and the wild magic burning between them, set in a divided world as brilliantly original as it is convincing.

Its unique representation of a non-binary co-protagonist...ensures Dragonfall is a stand-out within the fantasy genre, pushing the boundaries of what the canon can look like
The Glasgow Guardian
-
Beautifully written, immersive, and fantastical, Dragonfall evokes shivers with its commanding prose. At the heart is the relationship between Everen and Arcady, two characters with opposing goals who should not, could not, ever love one another-and yet. Readers, ready yourselves for angst, for longing, for a world full of secrets and whispered promises. Readers, ready yourselves to fall
Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter
-
An extremely readable and delightful first book in an intriguing sounding trilogy
ParSec
-
A good read with enough touches of past tropes to engage older readers and enough innovative aspects to interest newcomers. Who knew there was something new about dragons to write about, after all?
Concatenation
-
A vibrant tale told with surety and grace
Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone on Pantomime
