Fear the Flames

A Novel

De: Olivia Rose Darling

Narrado por: Hannah Van Der Westhuysen

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An exiled princess teams up with the last man she thought she could trust in the start of a dazzling and unforgettable epic fantasy romance series.

As a child, Elowen Atarah was ripped away from her dragons and imprisoned by her father, King Garrick of Imirath. Years later, Elowen is now a woman determined to free her dragons. Having established a secret kingdom of her own called Aestilian, she’s ready to do what’s necessary to save her people and seek vengeance. Even if that means having to align herself with the Commander of Vareveth, Cayden Veles, the most feared and dangerous man in all the kingdoms of Ravaryn.

Cayden is ruthless, lethal, and secretive, promising to help Elowen if she will stand with him and all of Vareveth in the pending war against Imirath. Despite their contrasting motives, Elowen can’t ignore their undeniable attraction as they combine their efforts and plot to infiltrate the impenetrable castle of Imirath to steal back her dragons and seek revenge on their common enemy.

As the world tries to keep them apart, the pull between Elowen and Cayden becomes impossible to resist. Working together with their crew over clandestine schemes, the threat of war looms, making the imminent heist to free her dragons their most dangerous adventure yet. But for Elowen, her vengeance is a promise signed in blood, and she’ll stop at nothing to see that promise through.

An immersive fantasy filled with a sizzling reluctant-allies-to-lovers romance, a world to get lost in, dangerous quests, dragon bonds, and an entertaining band of characters to root for, Fear the Flames marks the stunning debut of Olivia Rose Darling.

Couldn’t stop listening

I loved this so much , I could not stop listening. The voice actress did a wonderful job. Such an amazing book.

Dragons, romance, plot, spice, and banter everything you could possibly want in a book!

The FMC is amazing, she is strong, fiesty but has a big heart and the best banter with the MMC who is also strong, and would burn the world for her with a hint of shadows. The book just starts off and right away you are pulled into this amazing story following Elowen as she fights to get her (5) soul bound dragons back. The banter and relationship between all of the characters will have you laughing and smiling all the way. It is an epic beginning to an adventurous and thrilling story. I’m so excited for book 2. Also the spice is just…. Chefs kiss.

5 ⭐️ OMG!

Again another book I’ve left sitting on my TBR for too long & it takes me completely by surprise!

I think I loved everything about this book. No notes at all. I can’t wait for book 2!

Wow! Ruthless!

This story has so many moments where my jaw dropped and the characters were super murdery. LOL! The spice was real. This was not what I thought it was going to be and I’m so glad. I was very hesitant to start this book but it was fantastic!

Enchanting narrator. Excellent story.

Loved it. Narrator did an amazing job with countless scenes and characters. Very impressed. The story is fast paced and has a little of everything from action, to suspense, to romance. Very good world building too. Definitely recommend.

NEW. FAVORITE. BOOK.

There’s a big debate in the romantacy world of readers about which is more important the romance or the story and I think this book is one of my favorites that really emphasizes the romance without ruining the story. The MMC is everything we’ve ever hoped for and the FMC is strong ultimately putting herself and her needs above the MMC obsession. Loved every second!

Absolutely incredible!

The narrator was wonderful! And this story was EVERYTHING to me :) lots of giggles and foot kicking!

happy ever after

sweet, and heart warning tail with a smidge of gray and happy ever after. Plus it has Dragons.

a great debut!!

Ok, wow - I really enjoyed this one!!

A story surrounding a princess in hiding and an army commander who finds hers to enter into an agreement to help each other - save her dragons from captivity and take on her evil father in an upcoming war.

There was so much to enjoy about this!

🐉 a badass FMC who earned respect from her people and demanded it from others. She can also kick ass when needed!
🐉 a protective MMC who would do anything to support the FMC and is the definition of "touch her and die" vibes
🐉 great banter
🐉 found family
🐉 dragons
🐉 political intrigue

I can't believe this was a debut novel! I can't wait to see where the series goes from here!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for an e-ARC of this book - all opinions are my own!

I love this book!!

Amazing story line. It’s very I really hate to compare, but like a girls version of her love for dragons the way hiccup loves toothless and the way that she would do anything to get her five dragons with a wonderful enemies to lovers storyline and a phenomenal male female, best friend relationship not to mention fantastic Additional characters that play huge roles in the story as well. I would love to see more from this author and I will be waiting on pins and needles for the second book. Also thoroughly enjoyed the spicy level in this book. Very adequate.
