Long-listed, Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year, 2024

Enter a world ruled by dragons…

The Sky on Fire is a daring new fantasy heist adventure that will thrill fans of Temeraire, Fourth Wing, and Dragonriders of Pern

Anahrod lives only for survival, forging her own way through the harsh jungles of the Deep with her titan drake by her side. Even when an adventuring party saves her from capture by a local warlord, she is eager to return to her solitary life.

But this is no ordinary rescue. It’s Anahrod’s past catching up with her. These cunning misfits—and their frustratingly appealing dragonrider ringleader—intend to spirit her away to the dragon-ruled sky cities, where they need her help to steal from a dragon’s hoard.

There’s only one problem: the hoard in question belongs to the current regent, Neveranimas—and she wants Anahrod dead.

From Jenn Lyons, the acclaimed author of the Chorus of Dragons series, this soaring standalone fantasy combines conniving dragons, lightning banter, high-stakes intrigue, and a little bit of heat.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

"Nobody does dragons like Jenn Lyons! All the ingredients here add up to a spectacular and sexy fantasy heist story: sky ships hunting leviathans, revenge plots, secrets, family drama, and an ensemble that sparkles like a hoard full of diamonds."—Freya Marske, international bestselling author of A Marvellous Light

"Jenn Lyons just keeps getting better and better! The Sky on Fire is fantastic!—in multiple senses of that word."—Glen Cook, author of The Black Company

"The Sky on Fire's wily worldbuilding is deeply enjoyable, and its plot races like wildfire atop wit and banter, twists and reverses, and an unflappable delight in the possibilities of fantasy."—Kate Elliott, author of Unconquerable Sun and Servant Mage

Inventive world building, great voice acting. A great stand alone novel - though I wouldn’t complain at a sequel :-)

Neveranimus did nothing wrong

I’m mostly enjoyed the story although I think it kind of dragged the middle. The world building was perfection the performance I did not care for as much..

Great dragon adventures

This was great. I'm wondering if it could end up being a prequel to her Chorus of Dragons series? Either way I loved it. And I was so happy to have Lauren back as the narrator!

Loved it!

It has lots of dragons, magic, detailed world building, and a heist, what’s not to love?

Really fun fantasy heist

Jenn Lyons does it again with a phenomenal story rooted in characters with amazing chemistry and braced with engaging worldbuilding. This is a must read for fantasy fans, especially if you like dragons.

As an added bonus, Lauren Fortgang's narration is excellent and she captures the essence of every character and hits the right tone for every scene

masterful worldbuilding and spectacular characters come together to make a phenomenal standalone

I was hooked from the beginning. So many blooming bonds. Couldn’t have been more pleased

Jenn does it again!

Main character is great- her female love interest is awful- really obnoxious and arrogant and lost any respect for this relationship when they started talking about preferring fair skin that looks good with bruises- really? Couldn’t imagine I heard that right! Then lust triangle- no romantic development here. Tried to get into the story and supposedly quirky characters but found this lack of depth made it hard to commit to the story and didn’t finish.

Intriguing but doesn’t live up

read by the amazing Lauren Fortgang, and the cast she brings to life are distinct and intricate as their development throughout. don't get me wrong, some pick up certain idiocies for plot sake, but it made sense in the grand scheme and plot of things. enjoyed this thoroughly, hopefully there's a second book, because I want more!

Shifting and moving and nice

A fantastic story with great world building, magic system, fun characters, and of course: dragons!

A great dragon ride

Really good one off with interesting characters and pretty good world building. I thoroughly enjoyed it although it wasn’t as good as some books I’ve read. Maybe needed to be 3 books with more detail?

Worth the read
