DELUXE EDITION―featuring a foil case stamp, designed endpapers, and beautiful stenciled edges that, together with Firebird and Bloodsinger, will form one stunning piece of art.

The jaw dropping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling author Juliette Cross's The Fire That Binds trilogy, where the fates of a powerful witch and a fierce dragon collide, and bring down Rome once and for all.

She survived the fire…
He commands the flame…
Together they will burn down an empire where dragons rule.

She is known as the Viper Queen, the deadliest gladiator in the arena, a shadow of steel and blood who never loses. But Kostanya Bihari also possesses a powerful dark magic: the kiss of death.

Years after her village is burned and her family believed dead, Anya is stunned to hear of a bloodsinger in the fight against Rome’s emperor. Could it be that one of her sisters is still alive? The Visigoth king, Alaric, is the key to finding this bloodsinger, but he has secrets of his own.

For Alaric is a dragon, and he is gathering an army to attack Rome. Neither can afford distractions, but their attraction is impossible to deny. As passion ignites, danger draws near when Caesar sets his eyes on Anya for his own. Now, everything is on the line. Alaric and Anya must race against time and a tyrant to join a conspiracy that could topple the Empire.

Deathrider is an adult romantasy novel that contains dark themes, including slavery in Ancient Rome, which may be uncomfortable for some readers.
