Fang & Fire

For twenty-one years, Talia of the Tenth House has been her house's deepest shame. Now, she's their last hope.



Each year at the Tournament of Gold, first-blooded and firstborn male warriors battle alongside their massive, otherworldly monsters for fame and power. But when Talia's beloved younger brother is murdered on his way to the tournament—and his beast unexpectedly bonds with Talia—all hope for the Tenth is lost.



The powerful, arrogant, and dangerously seductive Fortiss of the First House would never let a woman vie for a seat on the Court of Talons. Desperate for answers and to protect her house, Talia assumes her brother's identity and enters the tournament.



But Talia discovers a dark conspiracy carefully crafted to destroy the entire realm. In an ever-more-deadly dance across gilded ballrooms and brutal fighting pits, she must sacrifice her heart, her freedom, and even the precious, mystical bond she's formed with her glorious monster to win at all costs.



Because only Talia understands the truth:

If she's discovered . . . she dies. If she loses . . . she dies.



And if she doesn't stop the evil screaming toward them through the shadows . . . everyone dies.
