A Fate Forged in Fire follows Aemyra, a blacksmith with special powers who is secretly a lost queen waiting to be called out of the shadows. When the moment finally comes, she must face reigning Prince Fiorean and his family. Aemyra is willing to risk it all for her people, but she lacks support and a dragon to call her own. As Aemyra battles for the throne and seeks a dragon, she gets to know the prince who vexes her. Can two rivals for the throne ever be anything more? 

I enjoyed A Fate Forged in Fire! At first, I struggled with the world-building and slow pace of the story. When it picked up and things began to click into place, I was along for the ride. Aemyra is a fierce and dedicated queen. I enjoyed the queer rep, though the end of her relationship with Sorcha was a little disappointing. Aemyra and Fiorean have excellent chemistry between them. Of course, I absolutely loved Aemyra’s dragon! 

A Fate Forged in Fire kept me guessing until the end and that cliffhanger made me eager for the sequel! With plenty of betrayals, romantic moments, and action-packed fight scenes, it is not one to miss. Readers who enjoy strong heroines, dragons, and romance will enjoy A Fate Forged in Fire.
