A Fire in the Sky

A Novel

De: Sophie Jordan

Narrado por: Karen Cass, Fiona Hardingham, Joe Jameson, Will Watt

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan returns to the high-stakes, sweeping world of dragons, romance, and drama first evoked in her bestselling young adult Firelight series, in a brand-new epic adult romantasy series.

Dragons are extinct. Witches are outcast. Magic is dying.

But human lust for power is immortal.

Dragon fire no longer blisters the skies over Penterra, but inside the lavish palace, life is still perilous…especially for Tamsyn. Raised in the glittering court alongside the princesses, it's her duty to be punished for their misdeeds. Treated as part of the royal family but also as the lowliest servant, Tamsyn fits nowhere. Her only friend is Stig, Captain of the Guard...though sometimes she thinks he wants more than friendship.

When Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands, descends on her home, Tamsyn’s world becomes even more dangerous. To save the pampered princesses from a fate worse than death, she is commanded to don a veil and marry the brutal warrior. She agrees to the deception even though it means leaving Stig, and the only life she’s ever known, behind.

The wedding night begins with unexpected passion—and ends in near violence when her trickery is exposed. Rather than start a war, Fell accepts Tamsyn as his bride...but can he accept the dark secrets she harbors—secrets buried so deep even she doesn’t know they exist? For Tamsyn is more than a royal whipping girl, more than the false wife of a man who now sees her as his enemy. And when those secrets emerge, they will ignite a flame bright enough to burn the entire kingdom to the bone.

Magic is not dead...it is only sleeping. And it will take one ordinary girl with an extraordinary destiny to awaken it.

such a great story!

absolutely loved it. this book had beautiful character development with a more fast pace set to it. not what I'd consider slow burn by any means. some very interesting twists to it. I can't wait for book 2 and more explanations and reveals to see if my theories are correct

Hang On Until the End - You won’t regret it!

What a HUGE surprise! The back story is clearly going to be important moving into the next book, so for those that get a heavy romance vibe only and are turned off, hang in there. The fantasy portion reveals it self 3/4 way through and will clearly be front and center, as the saga continues.

I devoured the book in one day, listening at 1.5 speed. Sooooo good! What a great cliffhanger! I was not expecting it. I can’t wait for the next book. 👏🏻 💗 I’m looking for more books by this author right now to fill the void until the new release! Sophie Jordan definitely has a new fan!

Fire in the sky

Full of excitement and surprise. Could not put it down. Waiting for second book to come out.

Loved it but confused

I’m fine with the story being standing a standalone; however it was so quickly over, it was done in two seconds. I’m confused, is this supposed to be a triology

So good!

This is my first time reading Jordan’s work and I was not disappointed. Very well written and I loved the multiple POVs. Cannot wait for book 2

Sheer Perfection of a Fantasy

***** Spoiler Free Review*****

Truly a most epic of stories and sheer perfection of a fantasy!

Incredible world and characters and the audiobook is simply amazing!

Didn’t want this to end and omg the plot twist is chef’s kiss!

A new favorite! Loved it!

Interesting twist

The narration was great. The story was well written. A few unexpected surprises that made for a great story.

I’d give it more than 5 🌟s if I could.

Please let the notification Gods send me a notification showing the 2nd book is coming out TOMORROW… I actually need the entire series of books tomorrow if it’s possible 😩🥴 I never… EVER start a series of books unless the 2nd book is already out and the 3rd book is a few weeks away from releasing. But noooo… I couldn’t be my normal self and just wait for these books to come out.
Nope. I listen to the introduction and hit the “purchase for 1 credit” button so fast 💨.
Sophie Jordan-if you read your reviews PLEASE stop the torture and give us the second book prudy please.
Sincerely,
A long time fan of ALL your books.

instantly hooked

I couldn't stop! I had to listen to it all in one day. I feel the continuing stories will be stronger and more in depth. It is a little fact paced but that's what is so addicting.

The heroine being half something else! What a twist!!! Magic creeps into the story softly and then with a loud bang!

Like an adult version of How to train your dragon. But with a female dragon.
