Chaos & Flame

By Tessa Gratton & Justina Ireland
Chaos & Flame by Tessa Gratton & Justina Ireland digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

From New York Times bestselling author Justina Ireland and Tessa Gratton comes the first book in a ferocious YA fantasy duology featuring ancient magic, warring factions, and a romance between the two people in the world with the most cause to hate one another.

Darling Seabreak cannot remember anything before the murder of her family at the hands of House Dragon, but she knows she owes her life to both the power of her Chaos Boon and House Kraken for liberating her from the sewers where she spent her childhood. So when her adoptive Kraken father is captured in battle, Darling vows to save him—even if that means killing each and every last member of House Dragon.
 
Talon Goldhoard has always been a dutiful War Prince for House Dragon, bravely leading the elite troops of his brother, the High Prince Regent. But lately his brother’s erratic rule threatens to undo a hundred years of House Dragon’s hard work, and factions are turning to Talon to unseat him. Talon resists, until he’s ambushed by a fierce girl who looks exactly like the one his brother has painted obsessively, repeatedly, for years, and Talon knows she’s the key to everything.
 
Together, Darling and Talon must navigate the treacherous waters of House politics, caught up in the complicated game the High Prince Regent is playing against everyone. The unlikeliest of allies, they’ll have to stop fighting each other long enough to learn to fight together in order to survive the fiery prophecies and ancient blood magic threatening to devastate their entire world.

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“🇬🇧 : This book is an absolute favorite! The universe is captivating, and the reading experience was incredibly smooth. The characters are so well-written that I became attached to each of them. From the very first chapter, I was completely drawn in and couldn’t put the book down. The ending is really well done, with plenty of twists and turns. The heroine is such a badass, which adds great energy to the story. I’m a bit sad that we don’t learn much about her past, but I hope to find out more in the second volume. The romance between the two main characters is so sweet. Even though it develops quite quickly, it didn’t bother me at all—the author introduced it beautifully. The action scenes are smooth and gripping, and while some of the descriptions of the settings are a bit lengthy, they’re still captivating. I also loved the supporting characters, especially the older and younger brothers, who bring great depth to the story. Honestly, I loved every single character in this book! I devoured it in just two days, and I recommend it 100%. It’s an amazing favorite of mine! 🇨🇵 : Ce livre est un véritable coup de cœur ! L’univers est captivant, et ma lecture a été super fluide. Les personnages sont tellement bien écrits que je me suis attachée à chacun d’eux. Dès le premier chapitre, j’ai été complètement happée, et je n’ai pas pu lâcher le livre. La fin est vraiment réussie, avec plein de rebondissements. L’héroïne est une vraie badass, ce qui ajoute une belle dynamique à l’histoire. Je suis un peu triste qu’on n’apprenne presque rien sur son passé, mais j’espère en découvrir davantage dans le tome 2. La romance entre les deux personnages principaux est incroyablement douce. Même si elle évolue assez rapidement, ça ne m’a absolument pas dérangée : l’auteure l’a très bien amenée. L’action est fluide et palpitante, et même s’il y a quelques longueurs sur les descriptions des décors, cela reste captivant. J’ai également adoré les personnages secondaires, notamment le grand frère et le petit frère, qui apportent une belle profondeur à l’histoire. En fait, j’ai aimé absolument tout le monde dans ce livre ! Je l’ai dévoré en deux jours et je vous le recommande à 100 %. C’est un immense coup de cœur !”
