About this book
When it comes to dragons, there's no such thing as safe.
I learned that the hard way when my kith and kindred were slaughtered right before my eyes.
Everyone thinks the wyverns and the sorcai did it, but I know the truth.
I've been hiding from The Horde ever since, existing under their radar, surviving.
And then one day, they find me… he finds me. Aeson Noctis, the king's second son and my new captor.
Aeson thinks he can force me back to Paragon City. He thinks he can use me and claim my power for his own.
But the dragons should've been more careful about who they let inside their city. I'm not some weak little pawn. I'm here looking for answers.
I'm here looking for revenge.
When it comes to dragons, there's no such thing as safe. I know because I am one, and now I'm going to make The Horde pay for what they've done.
They thought they killed all the Syphons.
They thought they'd hunted down everyone.
They thought wrong.
Narrated in duet style.

WARNING! CLIFFHANGER! This is a 5/5 on the trauma scale as far as cliffhangers go- you will definitely want book two as soon as possible, but it’s not yet ready in April 2025, so consider yourself warned! In a flash, Ever’s life was irrevocably changed at the age of six, when her father, mother, and brothers were brutally murdered in front of her, and the lives of the Syphons were changed forever. Now she is a dragon without a dragon or magic, a situation which led to her being captured by evil...

This was a good start to a new series from Ms. Asher. I've enjoyed her books, and this one ended up on the list as well. The FMC was written well. Her character was always on point, never wavering. She was very likable. Sometimes, FMC characters are written in a way that you have to grow to love them. Ms. Asher always writes FMCs in a way that makes them strong, independent, funny, and the best part ... not annoying. The MMC is not on my list of likable so far. I hope he wins me over in the...

I picked up Spark of the Flames after seeing the Aurora Crate edition and being instantly intrigued — and I am so glad I did. This book was a wild, action-packed ride that kept me completely hooked from start to finish. The premise immediately grabbed me: dragons, vengeance, hidden identities, and a heroine on the run after witnessing the slaughter of her kind. Ever has been surviving under the radar, hunted by The Horde and determined to uncover the truth about what really happened to the...

Well holy heck! Not only have a found a new author; I’ve also found what is now one of my favorite reads of this year! I was sucked into this world from the very get go. Good lawd, the action and pacing had me in a tizzy throughout the whole book! The pacing of this book was absolutely phenomenal - it just never stopped and loved every heart pounding second of it. The flow of the plot was so good, you never felt like there was lull and I was connected the entire way through. The world building...

I absolutely loved the Sentinel series. I wasn't crazy about and didn't finish other things Ivy Asher wrote really. But this was sooo good. It's long, about 500 pages which I love. It's such a cool mix of fantasy and technology. It's clumped in the urban fantasy genre but I'm not sure that's where I would place it. I don't care because I like high/epic fantasy that takes place nowhere near a big city on earth. But if you're looking for a world similar to the sentinel series, this isn't it. The...
