Fourth Wing meets Iron Widow in this enemies-to-lovers romantic fantasy by debut author Mikayla Bridge. The hottest must-read of the summer!

On an island built from ash and shrouded in fire, phoenix racing is a sport just as profitable as it is deadly.

Kel Varra and her team of underdogs, the Crimson Howlers, are desperate to win the annual races and the fortune that comes with it. But the Howlers need a new rider, which leads Kel to join forces with Warren “Coup” Coupers – an arrogant rival she can’t get out of her head.

As tensions rise on and off the track, Kel accepts a job from a mysterious tech mogul who shows an unsettling interest in her phoenix, Savita. This thrusts Kel into a conspiracy that endangers everyone she cares about, especially Coup, as her resentment ignites into something dangerously new.

This heart-pounding listen is full of fiery romance, jaw-dropping confessions, political scheming, and volatile magic, culminating in a final battle that none may survive.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Fast and Furious, but with ohoenixes

Fast and Furious meets Fourth Wing was quite an eye catching pitch! I really liked the aspect of phoenix racing—it was pulse pounding and gritty and very unique from any other book I’ve read. The characters were enjoyable with some fun banter and a fake dating trope. The plot twist at the end seemed kind of out of the blue and even though I still enjoyed the book overall it kind of pulled me out of the story.

This does leave off on a cliffhanger so I’m excited to see what Book 2 brings!

The narration was clear and easy to understand.


Thank you to the publisher for gifting me a free copy!

Great debut novel

This book was so good! The narration was spot on & the story held my attention from start to finish! If you love Fourth Wing but with Phoenixes instead of dragons, I’d recommend this one!
