Fire and Valor's Last Flight

It’s been an incredible journey, but the last book of the Fire and Valor series releases tomorrow. The Assassin’s Dragon follows Tristram Radcliffe and his companions as they try to save young King Roland and Llangard from their enemies.

When Sam and I started writing these books, we had no idea where they would take us. It’s been amazing to watch people pick up these books and love them as much as we do. We’ve gotten to work with some mindbogglingly talented people to support this series—our narrators Greg Boudreaux and Lessa Lamb, and of course, our fabulous cover designer, Natasha Snow.

When we started this series, it was definitely the most ambitious project either one of us had taken on. A multi-Point of View queer high fantasy was meaty and complex and intimidating, and we had absolutely no idea if anyone would respond to it. So thank you all—readers and bloggers and professionals and everyone in between—for your spectacular support. We couldn’t write without you. It’s bitter sweet to step away from this series…

But who knows… maybe we’ll get to return to Llangard one day ;).


In Atheldinas, everyone’s secrets have been uncovered. Tristram is a half-dragon, Nicholas is a villain scheming to take the throne from his cousin Roland, and eternally sharp Bet is nothing less than a hero.

The cost has been high, and now Tristram is forced to amass the armies of Llangard to save his king from Jarl Vidar, the mysterious figure who’s hellbent on tearing Llangard in two. To get his king back and defeat the impending Tornish invasion, Tris will need the help of not only all his Llangardian allies, but the dragons of the Mawrcraig Mountains. If he cannot bring his two peoples together, no other stands a chance.

But one last secret remains hidden in the harsh north, and uncovering it might be the undoing of all that Tristram and his allies have fought to protect.
