House of the Dragon meets From Blood and Ash in this epic, scorching dark romantasy.
A conqueror captivated...
A witch prophesied to save them all...
A world where dragons rule Rome.
From the moment Roman general and nephew to the emperor Julianus Dakkia laid eyes on Malina, he was enthralled by the Dacian dancer. Years later, the fierce beauty stands before him on a scarred battlefield, her life in danger. He instinctively shifts into his fierce dragon form to save her, an action that may mean his head on the imperial gate. But he and his dragon know one thing: she belongs to them.
Malina can't believe that the centurion who had once bestowed a secret talisman on her is the Roman general of legendary brutality. His prowess as a warrior cannot be denied, yet they don't reveal the secret he hides. All Malina knows is his protection and gentle touch. And she cannot deny how her soul has always seemed to answer his.
As they navigate a world where flying deathriders conquer and burn, their love will ignite a firestorm that can only end in heartbreak or death. Or both.
Firebird is a fantasy with some dark themes, including elements of master/slave relationship, attempted sexual assault (not between MCs), and dubious consent (not between MCs). Readers who may be sensitive to these elements, please take note.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

      In this sex-heavy historical romantasy, the Roman Empire is reimagined as a cruel and debauched regime of elitist dragons able to transform into human form at will. After a hard-won campaign against the Celts, General Julianus Dakkia claims the beautiful human witch Malina as his own. After transporting her to Rome and establishing her among his house slaves, Julian soon learns her magical gifts can help him wage a hidden war against the emperor. Trust between the two builds quickly and eventually shifts to lust-fueled romance. As secrets and spies abound, allegiances hang in the balance, and violence rages in the Roman capital, forcing Julian and Malina to act sooner than expected or lose each other forever. The world of Firebird offers a unique take on Roman history, not shying away from the empire's practice of enslaving those they conquered. The inherent power imbalance in a romance between the enslaver and the enslaved (despite Malina's potent magical abilities) will be problematic for some, but readers of dark romance will get lost in the fantasy.
