Publisher Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An exiled princess teams up with the last man she thought she could trust in the start of a dazzling and unforgettable epic fantasy romance series.

As a child, Elowen Atarah was ripped away from her dragons and imprisoned by her father, King Garrick of Imirath. Years later, Elowen is now a woman determined to free her dragons. Having established a secret kingdom of her own called Aestilian, she’s ready to do what’s necessary to save her people and seek vengeance. Even if that means having to align herself with the Commander of Vareveth, Cayden Veles, the most feared and dangerous man in all the kingdoms of Ravaryn.

Cayden is ruthless, lethal, and secretive, promising to help Elowen if she will stand with him and all of Vareveth in the pending war against Imirath. Despite their contrasting motives, Elowen can’t ignore their undeniable attraction as they combine their efforts and plot to infiltrate the impenetrable castle of Imirath to steal back her dragons and seek revenge on their common enemy.

As the world tries to keep them apart, the pull between Elowen and Cayden becomes impossible to resist. Working together with their crew over clandestine schemes, the threat of war looms, making the imminent heist to free her dragons their most dangerous adventure yet. But for Elowen, her vengeance is a promise signed in blood, and she’ll stop at nothing to see that promise through.

An immersive fantasy filled with a sizzling reluctant-allies-to-lovers romance, a world to get lost in, dangerous quests, dragon bonds, and an entertaining band of characters to root for, Fear the Flames marks the stunning debut of Olivia Rose Darling.

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“This book would be a five star if it wasn’t for the tradition published book having a couple things better in it. This book overall was better. All of the relationships and characters were more fleshed out than the trad pub. And I much preferred this plot line, almost the entire second half changed. The end result was the same but a lot of it was different. The only things that the trad pub did better was Cayden and Elowen’s banter, the addition of the dragons in the beginning and the overall aesthetic and vibes of the world. The trad pub had better and more descriptions of the world that made it feel so real and nostalgic. Cayden and Elowens banter was still great in this version but there is so much chemistry in the trad pub. It also felt like in this version the dragons very just mentions. It only mention that there were five of them twice before we meet them, it was just a plot device while in the trad pub you could feel Elowens need for them. I think Olivia Rose Darling improved her writing but lost some of the great plot she had to further the romance. This book is not a slow burn whatsoever but it takes the main characters over 200 pages to kiss and 500 pages to sleep together, that is a perfect ratio for me. That is not the case for the trad pub which definitely feels like it rushed them. But I prefer the plot of this book so much more.”
