DRAGONS ARE EXTINCT. WITCHES ARE OUTCAST. CAN MAGIC SURVIVE?
Dragon fire once blistered the skies over Penterra. Now it is life inside the lavish palace that is most perilous - especially for Tamsyn. Treated as part of the royal family, but also as the lowliest servant, Tamsyn's duty is to be punished for the princesses' misdeeds. Tasked with the ultimate sacrifice of pretending to be one of the true royal princesses and marry Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands, son to the great dragon slayer, Tamsyn accepts that her fate is to trick the deadly warrior.
An unexpectedly passionate wedding night ends in near violence when her deception is exposed. Rather than start a war, Fell accepts Tamsyn as his bride ... but Tamsyn isn't what she seems.
More than the false wife of a man who now sees her as his enemy, she harbours dark secrets - buried so deep even she doesn't know they exist. And when those secrets emerge, they will ignite a flame bright enough to burn the entire kingdom to the bone.
Magic is not dead ... it is only sleeping. And it will take one ordinary girl with an extraordinary destiny to awaken it.
'FABULOUS! If you love sizzling romantasy, epic world building, gripping characters, and DRAGONS do not miss this page-turner!' Kresley Cole

A Fire in the Sky, the first book in Sophie's adult romantasy duology, was a Sunday Times bestseller.
Sophie now lives in Houston with her family. When she's not writing, she spends her time overloading on caffeine (lattes preferred), talking plotlines with anyone who will listen (including her kids), and streaming anything that has a happily ever after.
