About this book

Kasia Amon has spent her life running, desperate to conceal a secret that makes her the most coveted prize in the supernatural world. As a phoenix shifter, she is a living target for dragon-shifters who view her as a golden ticket to absolute power. With her flames becoming increasingly difficult to suppress, she is one wrong step away from discovery. Her only hope is to remain invisible, but a dangerous hunter has finally caught her scent.

Brand Astarot is a rogue dragon living in the shadows, fueled by a centuries-old thirst for vengeance against the ruthless Blood King. When he tracks Kasia down, he sees her only as a bargaining chip to reclaim his stolen birthright. However, the moment he encounters the fiery, spirited woman, his cold, calculated plan incinerates. Instead of delivering her to his enemy, Brand finds himself consumed by a white-hot, undeniable need to claim her for himself.

This high-stakes paranormal romance masterfully blends intense action with the irresistible fated mates trope. Abigail Owen delivers a scorching start to the Inferno Rising series, weaving together royal intrigue, dangerous secrets, and sizzling chemistry. If you are craving a fast-paced shifter adventure where power and passion collide, this is your next obsession.

Fun action-packed adventure with great characters

July 30, 2019

Owens is a new to me author I found on NetGalley and I am so glad I was browsing their ‘request’ section of ARC’s. After seeing the yummy cover and reading the enticing blurb I definitely wanted to give it a read. I will surely be adding Owens to my new author list of books to explore and definitely this new series – Inferno Rising. This book was really great! I was hooked from the first page. My only complaint is that I would really like to get my hands on the second book now; this one really...

Burn it up action adventure romance

February 17, 2021

Dragons are my favorite paranormal creatures, and I hit the jackpot with new-to-me author Abigail Owen and her Inferno Rising series. Come to find out, she has a large backlist of other paranormal books, and many feature dragons. I will have to look into those..... The book starts with an incendiary beginning, and the pace throughout is just great. There are sections with lots of action-adventure and sections with quiet moments that let the romance develop. The dual point of view lets us see...

Perfect first book in a new shifter series

April 5, 2020

I loved Brand and Kasia’s fated mates, dragon and phoenix shifter romantic suspense tale. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline. The story will give you all the feels - laughing, crying, swooning, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering. I was not a fan of shifter novels until I read Abigail Owen's dragons. Now I am a fan for life. Brand, a dragon shifter, is super alpha and determined but so loving at the same...

A nice read

November 7, 2022

I read this because I wanted to read more of Abigail Owen's work. I had read The Liar's Crown and absolutely adored it and wanted more from her. This book had a totally different vibe which is okay but I stopped reading shifter books a while back because they all are basically the same and are a little cheesy. This book was a typical alpha male meets stubborn woman and they clash. I liked it but I think I have just read too many similar stories. ) One person found this helpful

Great balls of fire! Brand and Kasia are one hot couple! Literally...HOT!

February 6, 2021

A great start to the Inferno Series! ***** Rating: 4 stars Steam: 3 flames Genre: Paranormal Shifters / Enemies to Lovers / Fated Mates ***** Brand and Kasia should never have made it together. Brand, a rogue dragon shifter, mercenary, and loner, has been on his own since he was ten when something horrific happened. Since then, he has been singularly focused on revenge. Kasia, a rare phoenix, supposedly good luck to whomever she mates, was raised by her mother and three sisters to never trust...
