The gears of destiny have been set in motion.
Lark Axton has failed.

Failed to save Flighthaven, the military school she attended before she knew she was a dragoncaller and the descendant of the true royal house of Tirene. Failed to kill King Xenon and stop his army of the drachen, who are taking over the world by stealing the free will of its people at the bidding of the mad god Narc. Worst of all, she failed to save Sterling: the Crown Prince Knox of Tirene, her perfect match, the cold to her fire, the man she loves…

And now, the enemy who wants to kill her.

With Sterling corrupted by the drachen, Lark—the only dragoncaller in world—will become queen. As the kingdom crumbles, the council is determined to keep Lark safe. However, a thread still connects Lark and Sterling, and she refuses to give up on him. The fate of the world rests on her shoulders, and she must somehow save Sterling, the dragons, and the kingdom before it's too late.

Danger lurks in the shadows, and with enemies closing in and time running out, there’s only one option. She must defeat Narc once and for all, before the vengeful god destroys her first.

Filled with nonstop action, heart-wrenching twists, and a love that defies the odds, Queen of Legends and Lies is the fourth book of best-selling author Nina Frost’s enthralling Dragons of Tirene series.

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.
