In Emberclaw, dragons return to a world where ancient threats challenge the bond between two realms, as Arcady and Everen navigate perilous paths to restore trust.
In the gripping sequel, Emberclaw, long-banished dragons, once revered as deities, make their dramatic return to the mortal realm. This magical and romantic tale unfolds in a world where ancient threats loom and the balance between two realms hangs by a thread. The narrative follows Arcady and Everen, two protagonists separated by the mystical Veil, each facing their own daunting challenges. Arcady, determined to clear their grandsire's name, infiltrates the University as a noble student, while Everen, imprisoned in Vere Celene, grapples with the animosity of his own kind as he strives to protect both humans and dragons from impending doom.
As the story progresses, the stakes rise for both characters. Arcady's journey is fraught with danger as they navigate the complexities of their old life while trying to forge a new path. Meanwhile, Everen's visions of the past and future complicate his mission to unite the two worlds. Each character must confront their fears and insecurities as they seek to restore a bond that has been fractured by circumstance and deception.
Time is of the essence in Emberclaw, as the ancient danger stirs, threatening to disrupt the fragile peace. The narrative explores themes of trust, redemption, and the enduring power of love, culminating in a race against time where Arcady and Everen must reunite and reclaim their destinies to save their worlds from destruction.
With a queernorm cast that challenges the roles of gender and sexuality, Dragonfall is a page-turner that keeps you on the edge of your seat with phenomenal worldbuilding and jaw-dropping twists. Leaves you as breathless as flying on dragonback * Linden A. Lewis *
Dragonfall is a soaring good time from start to finish, and has plenty for fantasy fans to love: an intriguing world, forbidden romance, unique magic, and of course, as many dragons as your heart could possibly desire * Tara Sim *
Dragonfall is fresh and exciting fantasy, full of treachery, romance and kaleidoscopic world-building. You will gladly lose yourself in L. R. Lam's creation * Jen Williams *
Set in a unique and wondrous world, Dragonfall is a soaring and fiery love story that will burn or melt your heart. Lam's prose is delicate and gorgeous yet sharp, and will leave readers pining for the next book * Wesley Chu *
With progressive representation and constant shifts of narrative perspectives, Dragonfall is a unique intervention in the fantasy canon * The Glasgow Guardian *
Its unique representation of a non-binary co-protagonist...ensures Dragonfall is a stand-out within the fantasy genre, pushing the boundaries of what the canon can look like * The Glasgow Guardian *
Beautifully written, immersive, and fantastical, Dragonfall evokes shivers with its commanding prose. At the heart is the relationship between Everen and Arcady, two characters with opposing goals who should not, could not, ever love one another-and yet. Readers, ready yourselves for angst, for longing, for a world full of secrets and whispered promises. Readers, ready yourselves to fall * Andrea Stewart *
A good read with enough touches of past tropes to engage older readers and enough innovative aspects to interest newcomers. Who knew there was something new about dragons to write about, after all? * Concatenation *
Witty, gritty, and vicious fun. It's a tour de force in visual storytelling, and brings out the nuances of consent and autonomy in a digital world. I also loved the heart-pounding, edge of seat action sequences that felt like they were straight out of a movie (honestly, they should make one), and I read it so fast my head is still spinning * Hannah Kaner *
