The jaw dropping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling author Juliette Cross' The Fire That Binds trilogy, where the fates of a powerful witch and a fierce dragon collide, and bring down Rome once and for all. She survived the fire… He commands the flame… Together they can burn down an empire where dragons rule. Anya lost everything when her village burned—and discovered a dark power she can barely control. To stay alive in the heart of the Roman Empire, she must hide her magic and transform herself. Now she is known as the "Viper Queen," the deadliest gladiator in the arena, a shadow of steel and blood who never loses. But Anya has never forgotten her sisters. Or her thirst for vengeance. Then fate puts Alaric in her path. He is no ordinary solider; he is a dragon, and the attraction between them is impossible to deny. As passion ignites between them, so does the truth of who Anya really is. Now, to reunite with her sisters, Anya must team up with Alaric and join a conspiracy that could topple the Empire itself.
