Book Overview

"One of fantasy's best series." --Booklist, starred review

In this explosive conclusion to the epic trilogy that began with Fireborne, Annie and Lee are fighting for their lives--and for each other--as invading dragonfire threatens to burn their home to the ground.

A new revolution is underway, and nobody will emerge unscathed.

In New Pythos, Griff is facing an execution by the dragonborn, who are furious at his betrayal. He has allies on both sides seeking to defy his fate, but the price of his freedom might come at a dear cost. And Delo will have to make a choice: follow his family, or finally surrender to his conscience.

Meanwhile, Annie must race home to hatch a plan to save her Guardians and their dragons. With Callipolis on the brink of collapse and the triarchy set to be reinstated, she may be the one person who can save the city--if she can overcome her own doubts about her future.

Lee is a revolutionary at heart, but now he'll have to find a way to fight with diplomacy. Going up against the dragonborn court and a foreign princess, he faces a test of loyalty that sets his head against his heart.

As the fate of Callipolis darkens, Annie and Lee must determine what they are willing to sacrifice in order to save each other, defeat their enemies, and reclaim their home.

One more flight of the dragon riders!

An explosive end of dragon fire in this last book of the Aurelian Cycle. So many lives lost and dark times as dragon riders of both sides take to sky over the two countries, New Pythos and Callipolis along with more of the very interesting side story of Freyda and her Goliath dragon (wish there had been more detail about her story and country, disturbing yet fascinating! Though it added to the whole theme of giving rights back to everyone). I liked the addition of Delo as the new POV for this last story, especially as it works well with him and Lee, moving from being the leaders to supporting those that are stronger choices as the leaders (Go Annie and Griff!). Yes, there is much heartbreak with the cruel reign of Ixion, so much heartbreak and I will admit I cried over one particularly hard death but you also see characters rise to the challenge and show their true mettle (Power!!!!!) and making the difference needed for a better world for all. I also liked how romance was not the main thing (though the sweet time with Lee and Annie was a bit of nice break before the grand climax of the story) and that the end was more about the politics needed to make the way for a better future and not just, win the day, big marriage and they lived happily ever after. Annie may love Lee but she is so much more than just that one facet. A great finale to an explosive trilogy of dragons and a fight for a better world for everyone! I really enjoyed this last foray into the world, even if it broke my heart with those lost on the way. I do highly recommend this trilogy!
