Maddileh is a knight. There aren’t many women in her line of work, and it often feels like the sneering and contempt from her peers is harder to stomach than the actual dragon slaying. But she’s a knight, and made of sterner stuff.

 

A minor infraction forces her to redeem her honor in the most dramatic way possible, she must retrieve the fabled Fireborne Blade from its keeper, legendary dragon the White Lady, or die trying. If history tells us anything, it's that “die trying” is where to wager your coin.

 

Maddileh’s tale contains a rich history of dragons, ill-fated knights, scheming squires, and sapphic love, with deceptions and double-crosses that will keep you guessing right up to its dramatic conclusion. Ultimately, The Fireborne Blade is about the roles we refuse to accept, and of the place we make for ourselves in the world.

  • “A monstrously clever gem, chilling, dark and full of character.” --Adrian Tchaikovsky
     

    “The Fireborne Blade by Charlotte Bond is a brilliant novella….One of the best dragon dark fantasies I’ve read in ages.” --Grimdark Magazine
     

    “This is is an entertaining story, with some vividly inventive dragon-related-worldbuilding, and a compelling dragon-battle showdown….A breath blowing straight in from the D&D-esque sword-and-sorcery of yesteryear. I could definitely stand to read a few more earnest adventures in this vein.” --Locus
