Court of Secrets and Flames
She’s a pawn in a deadly game. A game for which she doesn’t know the rules.
One moment, Lark Axton is just a trainee at Flighthaven—a noble daughter of Aclaris training to fight the winged enemies from Tirene—who’s embroiled in a forbidden love affair with her gorgeous trainer, Sterling.
The next, she’s reeling from the worst kind of betrayals. Now, she doesn’t know who she is. Or who to trust.
Because Sterling isn’t a flight trainer. He isn’t even Sterling. He’s Prince Knox of Tirene. And he’s kidnapped Lark on the orders of his older brother, King Jasper, who claims Lark is Tirenese and seems determined to court her.
Held hostage in the Royal Palace, Lark soon realizes she may be the subject of a prophesy written before her first breath. One that could cost her life. Her heart torn by betrayal and her mind consumed by more questions than answers, Lark is soon ensnared in a dangerous game.
But perhaps the greatest danger of all is Sterling. One look from him can ignite a blaze hotter than the fire magic she’s suppressed her entire life. Caught up in a realm of intrigue where there’s a fine line between love and hate, Lark must choose between the world of her past and the one that holds her future...a future threatened by a sinister, slumbering evil that’s awakening to consume them all.
Bestselling author Nina Frost delivers an irresistible blend of intrigue, passion, and action in this stunning second installment of her captivating Dragons of Tirene series.

Nina Frost
Before dragons and magic filled the pages of her novels, Nina Frost was the kind of reader who rewrote endings in her head—particularly when the story didn’t sit right. Born and raised in California, she grew up under wide skies and surrounded by books that sparked her curiosity about distant realms, quiet rebellions, and the slow-burn ache of forbidden love. That instinct—to reshape stories and push her characters toward the truth they fear most—became the foundation of her writing.
Dragons of Tirene
In the fractured realm of Tirene, dragons are not the stuff of legends—they are living weapons, bonded to riders chosen by fate and forged through fire. But the bond isn’t always a blessing, and power, in this world, comes at a price.
The Dragons of Tirene series immerses readers in a world where elemental magic and ancient bloodlines collide within the walls of Flighthaven Academy—a brutal institution where survival often depends on secrets kept and alliances betrayed. At its heart is Lark Axton, a reluctant student whose sister vanished into the academy’s shadows, and whose own presence there threatens to unravel truths buried deep within the kingdom’s foundations. Her journey is one of quiet defiance, emotional vulnerability, and a slow-burn entanglement with a rival who may be as dangerous as he is magnetic.
Dragons of Tirene consists of five books — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
