"In Dragonfall , Lam has forged a fresh and intricate world, a smoldering romance, and a fire-new take on dragons ." --Samantha Shannon, New York Times -bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree
"What you will find here may be exactly what you love in fantasy : Dragonfall is an intriguing blend of magic, a thief, trickery, and an unexpected dragon." --Robin Hobb, New York Times -bestselling author of Fool's Assassin
" Dragonfall is a romance fantasy like you've never read before . A queer-norm world with new ways of telling tales, L. R. Lam is breaking boundaries and binaries yet again with a brilliant fantasy book that you won't want to miss." --Hannah Kaner, #1 Sunday Times -bestselling author of Godkiller
Long ago, humans betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Centuries later, their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the "gods" remember, and they do not forgive.
Thief Arcady scrapes a living on the streets of Vatra. Desperate, Arcady steals a powerful artifact from the bones of the Plaguebringer, the most hated person in Lumet history. Only Arcady knows the artifact's magic holds the key to a new life among the nobles at court and a chance for revenge.
The spell connects to Everen, the last male dragon foretold to save his kind, dragging him through the Veil. Disguised as a human, Everen soon learns that to regain his true power and form and fulfil his destiny, he only needs to convince one little thief to trust him enough to bond completely--body, mind, and soul--and then kill them.
Yet the closer the two become, the greater the risk both their worlds will shatter.
