She rides a fireborn, a steed of fire and ash,
trained for destruction.

Ceridwen tal Desmond dreams of ruling like her father over the nation of Soldonia, where warriors ride to battle on magical steeds—soaring on storm winds, vanishing in shadow, quaking the earth, and summoning the sea. After a tragic accident claims her twin brother, she is exiled and sworn to atonement by spending her life—or death—for her people.

But when invaders spill onto Soldonia’s shores and traitors seize upon the chaos to murder her father, Ceridwen claims the crown to keep the nation from splintering. Combatting overwhelming odds and looming civil war, she begins to wonder if the greatest threat to the kingdom may, in fact, be her.

With fire before her and ash in her wake, how can she hope to unite instead of destroy?

Flames rage and oceans rise in this explosive first installment of The Fireborn Epic as the exiled heir, a novice priest, and a reluctant rebel wage war against a hidden power that threatens to shake the world.

Volume One of The Fireborn Epic

Perfect for fans of The Scorpio Races and The Last Namsara.

“Wow. If you’re looking for the epic fantasy of your dreams, this. is. it. Simply put, Of Fire and Ash is a masterpiece, and Gillian wields the skill of both fearless Outrider and writing queen in her delivery of it.”

— Nadine Brandes, award-winning author of Romanov, Fawkes, and the Out of Time Series

“Gillian Bronte Adams continues to amaze! In this first book of The Fireborn Epic, her storytelling burns smoking hot. Rich worldbuilding, beautiful language, awe-inspiring creatures, a cast of imperfect and utterly compelling characters, OF FIRE AND ASH has everything I want in a fantasy. It is a triumph in every way, and I can’t wait for book two.”

— Shannon Dittemore, author of Winter, White and Wicked

“Full of hope, magical horses, courageous outcasts, and traitorous enemies, Of Fire and Ash grabs your attention from the first page, and leaves you eager for the sequel! Highly recommended.”

— Matt Mikalatos, author of The Crescent Stone
