Book Synopsis
DELUXE EDITION--featuring beautiful sprayed edges!
An instant New York Times bestseller!
House of the Dragon meets From Blood and Ash in this epic, scorching dark romantasy.
A witch prophesied to save them all...
An unforgiving world where dragons rule Rome. Julian Dakkia, Roman general and nephew to the emperor, has played his role as conqueror well. Yet, the moment he laid eyes on Malina, he was enthralled by the Dacian dancer. Years later, the fierce beauty stands before him, a captive on a scarred battlefield, her life in danger. He instinctively shifts into his fierce dragon form to save her, an action that may mean his head on the imperial gate. The rules of their world dictate that he is the conqueror and she is the captured. But he and his dragon know one thing: their bond has nothing to do with the laws of mighty Rome. She belongs to them. And they belong to her. Fierce and powerful, twenty-one-year old Malina has survived the loss of her family and she is determined to fight until her dying breath. Still, she can't believe that the centurion who had once bestowed a secret talisman on her is the Roman general of legendary brutality...and now holds her life in his hands. Nor can she deny how her soul has always seemed to answer his. Slowly she learns that Julian is caught in his mad uncle's machinations for domination, and helps him plot the downfall of the empire itself. As they navigate a world where flying deathriders conquer and burn, their love will ignite a firestorm that can only end in heartbreak or death. Or both. Firebird is a fantasy with some dark themes, including elements of master/slave relationship, attempted sexual assault (not between MCs), and dubious consent (not between MCs). Readers who may be sensitive to these elements, please take note.

I would rate this zero stars if I could. Nowhere in the advertising or in the authors note does it mention that this is a slave/master relationship and that he meets her when she is a minor. It also did not mention SA. Will be returning.
Very disappointing

When I first seen this book and read the little description for the book on good reads, I was so excited to read this because, as a dark romance romanticy, dark academia reader, I was so excited to see someone put a dark romanticy book together and it be based in Rome. So I received a book today, and after doing so much research on helping fault about the book, if anyone ready yet. I am was so sad to find out the actual tropes. And overall, meaning within this book. I don't think this book is dark romance at all. And no I haven't read it and I don't need to. It will be being returned immediately as a black female. I find it so disheartening for such a topic and something so brutal and hurtful, and just wrong is being used just in the book as something Fun and good. Well, she may not be using slave master in slavery. As something light but to then turn it into a romance is just very wrong and hurtful, and just disgusting. In no way shape or form. Was this book ever advertised or marketed? As a book, that would have a slave master. Enslave trope within it, the fact that the main female character and the main male character have that dynamic and then turn into lovers is insane to me. And it was never advertising the book at all, not even on the book. Itself, when you get it, is it ever said that there's anything like that? There's no trigger warnings or anything. I think so I was led to believe that it may have capture capture eve tides in it and me thinking that maybe it was someone else that did that and he saves her, that's not the case at all. He's the one who's doing everything, and it's not even a capture. R type of trope, it's slavery, and she's of personal color. So it's just, it's all wrong in so many different ways. They may say that he turned into a good guy. In the end, of course, whatever but to sit there and read through that and to feel, okay, I feel like is not write it all in no way shape or form. Should someone be writing something so triggering? In a playful way, as this author did, can of the sum fight that the author is white and the main female character is a person of color and then you want to pop, put slavery and romance into it with her slave master. It's absolutely insane, and it's horrific.
