Hazel McBride is a Scottish author currently living in The Netherlands. After gaining her BSc in Psychology at the University of Glasgow, she moved to the Dominican Republic. Switching the laid-back Caribbean for the sun-drenched Canary Islands a year later, she then moved to the South of France and is now fluent in three languages. She is a member of the LGTBQIA+ community and having diverse and queer characters feature prominently in her novels is hugely important to her.
A magnificent conclusion to McBride's epic, feminist fantasy. A story gorgeous, violent, chaotic, in which 'all is fair in love and war' is taken to new and literal extremes. Aemyra's growth drives the narrative as she learns the human cost of war and what it truly means to rule. McBride deftly weaves political machinations, romance, and truly epic battles on dragon back; this book is a full sensory experience, addictive and action-packed. * Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for your Enemy * I could read a hundred novels set in the world Hazel McBride has created - steeped in Celtic mythology, it's so vivid it feels like a character itself! After Fiorean's betrayal, I was rooting for Aemyra as she rose from the ashes and became a true queen. A Queen Crowned in Flames is an epic and satisfying conclusion! * Demi Winters, author of The Road of Bones and Kingdom of Claw *
