Firebird

If you liked the political intrigue and dragon heat of From Blood and Ash but wished it was set in an ancient empire with real teeth, Firebird is your next obsession. Juliette Cross builds a world where witches and dragons are caught on opposite sides of a war, and the forbidden romance between a Dacian empath witch and a Roman dragon general will absolutely wreck you. Fair warning - the slavery themes are handled with care but they are present and central to the story. Come for the dragons, stay for the found family that forms in the ashes.
