A sprawling romantasy debut, filled with dragons, deceit and a delicious slow-burn romance.
She rides to claim her fate.
As the first and only woman in the Moontouched Brotherhood-a magical order stationed on a stormy island-Tani lives surrounded by men who see her as an ill omen at best. She desperately awaits the day when she can unlock her full powers and free herself from this restrictive life.
He flies to burn it down.
Lang, an insubordinate Crown Prince, holds the reins to one of the few dragons left in the world. When he visits the Moontouched Brotherhood, he learns of Tani's power-and her potential. If she's able to unlock her full powers, her magic could topple empires.
Tani would be a threat to any kingdom-including Lang's. He knows he can't allow her to fulfill her fate, but neither can he bear the thought of giving her up to his warmongering father.
And so they find themselves at odds: Tani, determined to claim her magic. Lang, to destroy it by any means possible. But despite everything, they can't resist the growing sparks between them, even as it might be their shared downfall. R.A. Sandpiper is a fantasy author living in London. She has a law degree she's never used despite spending five years in government-adjacent roles, loves games of all kinds (the nerdier the better), and will always dance at weddings. She's passionate about creating strong and complex characters in unkind and twisting worlds, but despite what she puts them through, there will always be a heart-pounding romance.
