Annie és Lee még kisgyerekek voltak, amikor egy brutális felkelés megváltoztatta addigi életüket, felforgatta a világukat, és ezzel mindenkinek – még az alacsony származásúaknak is – lehetőséget adott arra, hogy egy próbát kiállva a sárkánylovasok uralkodó osztályába kerüljenek. Mindketten az új rend feltörekvő csillagai lettek annak ellenére, hogy származásuk eltérőbb nem is lehetne. Annie szegény sorsú gazdálkodó családjával sárkánytűz végzett, míg Lee arisztokrata családját forradalmárok irtották ki. Ugyanabban az árvaházban nőttek fel, és szoros barátságot kötöttek. A hét év képzés alatt azonban riválisokká váltak, mindketten a sárkánylovas flotta parancsnoki tisztére pályáztak. Amikor váratlanul felbukkannak a régi hatalom túlélői, és visszakövetelik a városukat, az új rend meginog. Az Annie-vel való kapcsolatának gyors változása és a küszöbön álló háború miatt Leenek döntenie kell: vagy megöli egyetlen megmaradt rokonát, vagy elárul mindent, amiben eddig hitt. Annie-nek pedig arról kell döntenie, hogy a szeretett fiút menti meg, vagy városa érdekeit tartja szem előtt.

"Fireborne is everything I want in fantasy." -Rachel Hartman, New York Times bestselling author of Seraphina Game of Thrones meets Red Rising in a debut young adult fantasy that's full of rivalry, romance . . . and dragons. Annie and Lee were just children when a brutal revolution changed their world, giving everyone-even the lowborn-a chance to test into the governing class of dragonriders. Now they are both rising stars in the new regime, despite backgrounds that couldn't be more different. Annie's lowborn family was executed by dragonfire, while Lee's aristocratic family was murdered by revolutionaries. Growing up in the same orphanage forged their friendship, and seven years of training have made them rivals for the top position in the dragonriding fleet. But everything changes when survivors from the old regime surface, bent on reclaiming the city. With war on the horizon and his relationship with Annie changing fast, Lee must choose to kill the only family he has left or to betray everything he's come to believe in. And Annie must decide whether to protect the boy she loves . . . or step up to be the champion her city needs. From debut author Rosaria Munda comes a gripping adventure that calls into question which matters most: the family you were born into, or the one you've chosen.
