Description
From Aurealis Award-nominated author Devin Madson comes a new rip-roaring epic fantasy full of dragons, alchemical magic, and forbidden romance that unfolds as three people in a shattered empire become entangled in a looming revolution. The Celes Basin has been split into city states, but there are those who seek to reunite the shattered realm--by force if necessary. Amidst the turmoil there are three who will find their destinies inextricably tangled. Tesha is a glassblower's apprentice who becomes a tribute bride when her city is conquered by the south. In the enemy's court, she's perfectly placed to sabotage them, but her heart has other plans. Naili is a laundress in the house of an eccentric alchemist who is awakening to strange new powers. When radicals approach her, she faces a choice between keeping her magic to herself and using it to change the world. And in the desolate Shield Mountains, dragon rider Ash protects the cities from the monsters in the sands beyond. But, soon he'll have to learn how to protect his dragon when hunters unlock the secret to killing them. As war sweeps across the land, Tesha, Naili, and Ash must fight for survival against political enemies, dragon hunters, and monsters both within and without.

About the Author
About the Author
Devin Madson is an Aurealis Award-winning fantasy author from Australia. After some sucky teenage years, she gave up reality and is now a dual-wielding rogue who works through every tiny side-quest and always ends up too over-powered for the final boss. Anything but zen, Devin subsists on tea and chocolate and so much fried zucchini she ought to have turned into one by now. Her fantasy novels come in all shades of grey and are populated with characters of questionable morals and a liking for witty banter.

"Between Dragons and Their Wrath offers drama and delight at every turn. Through the eyes of clever manoeuverers, Madson takes you on a ride through the tensions of a fascinating world. Wit and ambition flow in equal measure in this sparkling fantasy where everyone must guard their back. You'll be dying for more!" --Elyse John, author of Orphia and Eurydicius
Praise for the Reborn Empire series: "A complex tale of war, politics and lust for power." --The Guardian on We Ride the Storm "An exciting new author in fantasy." --Mark Lawrence, author of Red Sister on We Ride the Storm "Imaginative worldbuilding, a pace that builds perfectly to a heart-pounding finale and captivating characters. Highly recommended." --John Gwynne, author of The Shadow of the Gods on We Ride the Storm "Intricate, compelling, and vividly imagined." --Anna Stephens, author of Godblind on We Ride the Storm
"Madson hooked me into this layered, fascinating world of sand and glass, poisons and plant magic, politics and secrets, and didn't let go. Brilliantly clever and inventive!"--Sam Hawke, Aurealis Award-winning author of City of Lies
"Between Dragons and Their Wrath is wildly inventive, a world of glass and magic, filled with characters who each hold their own breathtaking secrets. Shifting alliances, revelations, and relationships full of love and lust make this a compelling read."--Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter
"Madson's skillful prose weaves a story of political intrigue, personal connections, and dragons. Readers will want to know where the protagonists' destinies lead them after this first in a projected trilogy."
