An enterprising young dragonrider—a kidnapped father—a world on the brink of war. Fia supports her family by transporting rich people from one city to another on the back of her emerald dragon, Ryelleth. She loves her dragon's-eye view of Fiorenza, a magical Italian city full of dragons and warfare, and she loves her dragon. But Fia will soon lose her dragon as part of her bridal-cost. "We might let you fly her if you're good," her husband-to-be jokes. But then Fia's world goes on tilt when her father is kidnapped before Fia's eyes and Fia barely escapes with her life. The kidnappers demand a ransom that will bankrupt her family—and if they don't pay within two weeks, they'll murder her father. So Fia turns to her grandmother, a retired assassin, and asks her to find the kidnappers and kill them. Fia and her grandmother plunge into the dark world of Italia crime, chasing down clues to her father's whereabouts, but time is running out. Fia has to take the gamble of a lifetime to bring her father back alive—but this gamble may destroy her family and the life she's fought so hard to preserve. If you enjoy the Venatrix Chronicles by Sylvia Mercedes, or the dragon books of Ursula K. Le Guin and Anne McCaffery, you'll love taking flight in ASSASSIN'S BLADE.

Neva didn't ask for any of this. Neva only wants to keep her family safe – but all hope of that vanishes when her best friend, Fia, plummets out of the sky, gravely wounded, on dragonback. “Let the dragonrider die!” her mama pleads. That would be the sure way to ensure that the army stops harassing them – but Neva can’t turn her back on her friend. Never mind that her family is holding Fia’s father captive, and Neva is forced to use her magic in this hateful work – work that is bringing war closer, every day. But when a magical spell goes wrong, Neva’s now in danger. Worse, a new leader has emerged – one who wants to hasten the war – one who has his cold eye on Neva and Fia both. Fia and Neva are not on the best of terms. Both of them have reason to be wary of each other as Neva tries to hasten her healing. But there has been too much between their warring families all these years. But when her father’s execution date is moved up, Fia flees – only to lose the only person who could help her rescue him. She has two weeks to save him. Neva has two weeks to stop her. Set in an alternate medieval Italy with dragons and magic, ASSASSIN'S BLADE is for fans of the dragon books of Ursula K. Le Guin and Anne McCaffery. If you like tough heroines, wisecracks, adventure, and magic, you'll love taking flight in DRAGON'S INFERNO.

Fia has two weeks to rescue her father before his execution. She is deep in enemy territory, alone, and praying that nobody sees through her disguise. But when they announce a special dragon race, Fia is tempted as never before. In her new disguise, she can take part in the biggest race in all of Italia, something she’d wanted to do ever since she started riding a dragon. The prize money would ensure a life of freedom for Fia, and her sisters. Wearing the glamour of her true love, Fia navigates the world of the dragonriders. Her enemies know she’s there – and to lure her out, one of the dragons that is flying in the race is Ryelleth – and Carmelo, her betrothed, is flying her. Fia would walk into fire for Ryelleth. She'll be damned if she leaves without her.

Everything is supposed to go back to normal. Fia is supposed to pretend she never loved Salvi. That she never was targeted by the Pope and his army. That her life never was in danger. That makes no sense to Fia. After all, she’d dressed as a man, found freedom beyond her wildest imaginings, and won the race of a lifetime. And then found Salvi's village burned by the Pope's dragons – many old friends dead in the ashes. And they kidnapped her best friend. And the Pope's army is marching toward her city, Fiorenza, to attack. Her papa wants her to marry Carmelo. Still. After all this. They don’t know the secret Fia is hiding. To protect it, Fia’s going to have to make all the wrong choices.

The war has begun, and Fia has work to do. Now that the love of her life has turned his back on her, Fia must forge an alliance with her betrothed. She is torn—and afraid to confess the secret that she knows will explode their peace. But at least Carmelo is willing to work with her—until she drags him along on a secret mission to rescue a mutual friend. Now war has come, and Fia does something she once swore she'd never do—join the Florentine army. But her baptism of fire is nearly catastrophic, and now her army is facing an enemy that will grind the soldiers down to nothing, an impossible pass. Fia's love, Salvi, is one of those soldiers.

Who will live? Who will die? On the brink of a final battle, only one girl can protect the army or bring it to ruin—and her loss will mean a withering attack on her home. Fia knows she could possibly lose everything in this battle, for her friends are also marching against the foe—and some of them must make a final choice about whose side they're actually on. She must do everything in her power to protect the ones she loves, even if it means paying the ultimate price. Warfare—tender moments—fights between the main characters—Ryelleth rampaging, ablaze in the sky—heartbreak—and glory. Don't miss the thrilling conclusion to the Dragonriders of Fiorenza series!
