Reviews for The Fireborn Epic
“Adams’ horsey epic gallops through a whirlwind of betrayals and rescues… sparks fly as hooves and hearts pound.”
– Kirkus Reviews
“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
“Masterful, imaginative, and completely immersive—this is epic fantasy at its finest.”
—S.D. Grimm, author of The Children of the Blood Moon series and A Dragon By Any Other Name
“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
“Of Fire and Ash is a tale of learning to value one’s self and bravery. It is a story invasion, rebellion, and empires that all center on the marvelous solborn: horses with elemental magic. The magic is unique, something to value greatly in any fantasy novel.”
— City Book Review
“With intense action and stirring depth, Gillian Bronte Adams’s The Fireborn Epic sweeps you into an evocative fantasy world with hearty characters you won’t easily forget.”
— Nova McBee, award-winning author of the Calculated series.
“Gillian Bronte Adams plumbs new depths in the second installment of her much-loved The Fireborn Epic! Expansive worldbuilding, endearing characters, and twists & turns to rival the best solborn out there—Of Sea and Smoke more than delivers! Buoyed with dangerous alliances, undercurrents of betrayal, and powerful forces this is a story you will long remember. Take the plunge—you don’t want to miss this one!”
—Ronie Kendig, award-winning author of The Droseran Saga
Official Author Bio
Short Bio: Gillian Bronte Adams writes epic fantasy novels, including the award-winning Of Fire and Ash and The Songkeeper Chronicles. She loves strong coffee, desert hikes, and trying out new soup recipes on crisp fall nights. Her favorite books are the ones that make your heart ache and soar in turn. When she’s not creating vibrant new worlds or dreaming up stories that ring with the echoes of eternity, she can be found off chasing sunsets with her horse, or her dog, Took.
Longer Bio: Gillian Bronte Adams writes epic fantasy novels, including the award-winning Of Fire and Ash and The Songkeeper Chronicles. She loves strong coffee, desert hikes, and trying out new soup recipes on crisp fall nights. Her favorite books are the ones that make your heart ache and soar in turn. Over the years, her work has taken her from the riding arena as a youth camp equestrian director (where she also served on a rural volunteer fire department) to the recording booth as an audiobook narrator, all of which now provide fodder for the thing she loves most: creating vibrant new worlds and dreaming up stories that ring with the echoes of eternity. At the end of the day, she can be found off chasing sunsets with her horse or her dog, Took.
