While Tirene comes together to mourn King Jasper’s death, Prince Knox takes over as acting monarch...a role he never expected and one that creates friction between him and Lark. While he works to prepare Tirene for a looming war, Lark’s quest to find a way to defeat the drachen takes her on a journey to the mysterious lands of The Lost City and Hidden Valley and reunites her with her paternal grandfather.

The secrets of the dragoncallers’ heritage are revealed, but not in time to prevent tragedy from striking those Lark holds most dear. To succeed where her ancestor failed and stop their deadly enemy once and for all, Lark must summon her ancient power and face off with King Xenon, where the prophecy will play out and only one will remain standing.

Dragons of Tirene

The series

Full series details →

In the fractured realm of Tirene, dragons are not the stuff of legends—they are living weapons, bonded to riders chosen by fate and forged through fire. But the bond isn’t always a blessing, and power, in this world, comes at a price.

Read full series description

The Dragons of Tirene series immerses readers in a world where elemental magic and ancient bloodlines collide within the walls of Flighthaven Academy—a brutal institution where survival often depends on secrets kept and alliances betrayed. At its heart is Lark Axton, a reluctant student whose sister vanished into the academy’s shadows, and whose own presence there threatens to unravel truths buried deep within the kingdom’s foundations. Her journey is one of quiet defiance, emotional vulnerability, and a slow-burn entanglement with a rival who may be as dangerous as he is magnetic.

What sets this series apart isn’t just the dragons or the fantasy setting—it’s the atmosphere of unease, the ever-present tension between trust and deception, and the way characters bleed for their choices, not just fight with their fists. It’s a story that leans into its romantic threads without softening the harsh edges of its world.

With lyrical prose, haunting tension, and an undercurrent of forbidden magic, this fantasy romance series balances elemental battles with emotional reckoning. Each installment draws readers deeper into Tirene’s kingdoms, where nothing is sacred and everything can burn.

For fans of dark academies, reluctant heroines, and slow-burning magic-infused romance, this series offers an escape into a world where dragons may be the least dangerous thing waiting in the skies.
