Empire of Flame and Thorns

Flame and Thorns, Book 1

De: Marion Blackwood

Narrado por: Laura Horowitz

A fae rebel. A ruthless dragon commander.

And a deadly trial that will turn their lives upside down.

Trapped in the Seelie Court by a forest of thorns, Selena Hale lives at the mercy of the dragon shifters. Her only chance to gain her freedom is by entering the Atonement Trials: a deadly competition that pits fae magic users against each other. Only three people can win, and Selena intends to be one of them.

There is only one problem. Draven Ryat, the ruthless commander of the dragon shifter army, is determined to make her lose.

He symbolizes everything that she hates, and if he finds out that she is also a member of the secret fae rebellion, he will not only mess with her chances to win, he will kill her. But the more time she spends with him, the more she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him.

And nothing is more dangerous in a lethal trial than a distracted heart.

Especially one that beats for the enemy…

Why did she use so many WoW names and references lol

So far pretty good but why Azeroth, Ysera, etc? I feel like come up with your own names? Or at least borrow from multiple sources names that arent do ubiquitous to World of Warcraft lol. Someone played the dragon expansion? Otherwise enjoyable so far.

epic story

absolutely love this book and all the characters as well. Now on my favorite list of book series.

Wow, one of my all time favorites

If you are on the fence about this book, don’t be, get it. You won’t regret it. This has got to be one of my favorite books. I love books with trials and this kept me on the edge of my seat. Combine that with a handsome dragon commander and yeah, it is pretty epic. I can’t wait for the next book. This is definitely in my Top 3 favorites of all time.

A good twist !

aside from the insufferably, spineless fmc, i rather enjoyed this book. i wouldn’t call this enemies to lovers tho, more like mildly annoyed or inconvenient, but still a pretty interesting read. i wish the fmc would use her powers more and stop being a doormat tho

Everything you could want from a romantasy

Fae, dragon shifters, elemental magic, mind magic, deadly trials and games, slow burn, angst, tension and banter everything a good romantasy book should have!
