A determined young woman sets out to rescue her kidnapped girlfriend by stealing a dragon from the corrupt emperor in this stunning fantasy debut.
Raised among the ruins of a conquered mountain nation, Maren dreams only of sharing a quiet life with her girlfriend Kaia—until the day Kaia is abducted by the Aurati, prophetic agents of the emperor, and forced to join their ranks. Desperate to save her, Maren hatches a plan to steal one of the emperor’s coveted dragons and storm the Aurati stronghold.
If Maren is to have any hope of succeeding, she must become an apprentice to the Aromatory—the emperor’s mysterious dragon trainer. But Maren is unprepared for the dangerous secrets she uncovers: rumors of a lost prince, a brewing rebellion, and a prophecy that threatens to shatter the empire itself. Not to mention the strange dreams she’s been having about a beast deep underground…
With time running out, can Maren survive long enough to rescue Kaia from impending death? Or could it be that Maren is destined for something greater than she could have ever imagined?

I thought this book was ok. I bumped up the rating just because I really liked the last part of the book a lot. Hopefully the next one will be even better.
This is a little bit more capital-F-Fantasy than is my usual jam but I still really enjoyed it! Maren is a great protagonist and her love for her girlfriend Kaia is so beautiful ;_; This has IMO exactly the right amount of worldbuilding to be compelling and interesting but without me being like “UGHHHH which was this fantasy dialect again”? And I thought this was a unique take on dragons!
Now I gotta wait for the sequel aaaaa!
