Gilded Wings

By Emily Thiede

Two fiery hearts are ready to spark a revolution in this swoony fantasy romance - with dragons - perfect for fans of The Buccaneers, Newsies, and The Gilded Wolves.

Stella has always felt invisible in a world where standing out means survival. In this magical gilded age, the jewels and vibrant attire of the wealthy aren't just decoration: they're protection from the dragons that hunt at night. When she runs away to the big city to escape an unwanted betrothal and find adventure as a factory girl, Stella knows the danger circling above, but she's not prepared for the threats on the ground.

Gentry is a street-wise newsie--charming and devilishly handsome--hiding a secret worthy of the front page. He's captivated by the beautiful girl from the countryside, until he discovers he's missing something priceless. Is she a fresh-from-the-farm innocent or a pickpocket who conned him? Either way, his life's on the line unless he hunts her down to retrieve it.

As dragon attacks escalate and grow erratic, scores of cat-sized, thieving miniature dragons called infaerna start going missing--and another factory goes up in flames. Stella and Gentry must go undercover among the wealthy elite to expose what--or who--is conspiring to control a city on the brink.

Emily Thiede's captivating fantasy romance, Gilded Wings, explores a decadent and dangerous world where all that glitters is deadly and the powerless must stand together to fight for love and survival.
