About this listen
An instant New York Times bestseller!
House of the Dragon meets From Blood and Ash in this epic, scorching dark romantasy.
A conqueror captivated…
A witch prophesied to save them all…
An unforgiving world where dragons rule Rome.
Julian Dakkia, Roman general and nephew to the emperor, has played his role as conqueror well. Yet, the moment he laid eyes on Malina, he was enthralled by the Dacian dancer. Years later, the fierce beauty stands before him, a captive on a scarred battlefield, her life in danger. He instinctively shifts into his fierce dragon form to save her, an action that may mean his head on the imperial gate.
The rules of their world dictate that he is the conqueror and she is the captured. But he and his dragon know one thing: their bond has nothing to do with the laws of mighty Rome. She belongs to them. And they belong to her.
Fierce and powerful, twenty-one-year old Malina has survived the loss of her family and she is determined to fight until her dying breath. Still, she can’t believe that the centurion who had once bestowed a secret talisman on her is the Roman general of legendary brutality…and now holds her life in his hands. Nor can she deny how her soul has always seemed to answer his. Slowly she learns that Julian is caught in his mad uncle’s machinations for domination, and helps him plot the downfall of the empire itself.
As they navigate a world where flying deathriders conquer and burn, their love will ignite a firestorm that can only end in heartbreak or death. Or both.
Content Warning: Firebird is an adult romantasy novel that contains dark themes, including slavery in Ancient Rome, which may be uncomfortable for some listeners.
A Macmillan Audio production from Bramble Books.

I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus.

Meh-Drags out for too long.

While the prose occasionally stumbled, the emotional connection between the leads really landed for me. Their bond felt raw and real—messy, complicated, but meaningful. That kind of layered romance is something I’ll always be drawn to.
Some of the themes may not be for everyone, but I believe stories like this, which don’t sanitize the past, can offer real value. Remembering the darker parts of history—even through fiction—isn’t something to fear.
All in all, The Firebird gave me a story that burned deeply, both in feeling and in thought. I appreciated that.

Make sure to check trigger warnings as there are some difficult things in this book.
I know a lot of the early reviewers are very upset about the power imbalance of this romance, especially when Malina is Julian’s slave, but I don’t quite understand that take. Julian and Malina met years before she was captured as a Slave & already had a connection. They never even touched each other until she knew that he was a part of the rebellion. He told her the truth of his plans and also told her that she was his “god-given treasure” AKA soulmate before ANYTHING happened between them.
I understand the thought is uncomfortable, but she knew his plan before any physical romance began & she wanted to help him. She could also feel the bond. She was helping him & was essentially only POSING as his slave in public to aid in his rebellion plans.
Not to mention, she is an empath who can feel his emotions & she is the one who initiated their first kiss & asked for more.
If it had been him initiating it, I would completely understand the reviews but it wasn’t.
He even told her she was free & he would take her anywhere she wanted. She told him she didn’t want to be anywhere else.
I love the premise of this book. Dragons (aka the Romans) and a rebellion against Caesar, the evil dragon emperor and Julian, the general, who is Caesar’s chosen successor secretly fighting to free Rome from Caesar’s evil reign.
I’m excited to learn more about the Myth of Medusa and the 3 sisters powers in the following books.
Really enjoyed this book
