THE SENSATIONAL SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER!

‘Tight tense, smoldering, and wonderfully queer’ MIKE BROOKS


The first in an epic fantasy trilogy from Sunday Times bestselling author L.R. Lam, with a smouldering forbidden romance, a dangerous heist, and a world full of magic and DRAGONS.

The last male dragon. A desperate thief. A bond that will save the world . . . or shatter it.


Long ago, humans betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Now their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the ‘gods’ remember, and they do not forgive.

So when thief Arcady casts a spell to steal a powerful artefact and accidentally traps Everen – the last male dragon – in the human world, the consequences are deadly.

Everen soon realises the key to his destiny, and to regaining his true power, lies in Arcady. All he needs to do is convince them to bond with him completely – and then kill them . . .

I’m a HUGE fan of this book . . . The romance is the most delicious slow burn, and the ending… Well. You’ll have to wait and see’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dragonfall was the dragon book I didn’t know I needed. This was sooo different to anything else I’ve read! Prophecies, magic, reluctant romance, wonderful world building and an ending I genuinely didn’t see coming and I’m still reeling from’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

10/10 would recommend (it has sexy dragons; what more could you want?)’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘If you like dragons, romance, heists, Six of Crows and all things queer then this book is for you!!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Holy starfire, this is a great story . . . the well paced development of erotic tension between a dragon and human led to a blistering end that has left me wanting more. I can’t wait for the next’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Reviews

Kate Dylan, author of Mindwalker
Dragons have never been so sexy. Lam's triumphant return to fantasy strikes the perfect balance between romance, action, high stakes heists, and betrayal, in a richly imagined world that's brimming with magic and heart. You can't help but fall for this book
Linden A. Lewis, author of The First Sister
With a queernorm cast that challenges the roles of gender and sexuality, Dragonfall is a page-turner that keeps you on the edge of your seat with phenomenal worldbuilding and jaw-dropping twists. Leaves you as breathless as flying on dragonback
Mike Brooks, author of The God-King Chronicles
Tight, tense, smouldering, and wonderfully queer
Julie E. Czerneda, author of the Night’s Edge series
Lam's Dragonfall is a powerful all-new imagining of dragons and humans and the wild magic burning between them, set in a divided world as brilliantly original as it is convincing. With striking, beautiful prose and characters that will own your heart, this book - and those to follow in the trilogy - are must-reads
Publishers Weekly
Sumptuous epic fantasy
Jen Williams, author of The Poison Song
Dragonfall is fresh and exciting fantasy, full of treachery, romance and kaleidoscopic world-building. You will gladly lose yourself in L. R. Lam's creation
Tara Sim, author of The City of Dusk
Dragonfall is a soaring good time from start to finish, and has plenty for fantasy fans to love: an intriguing world, forbidden romance, unique magic, and of course, as many dragons as your heart could possibly desire
J.D. Oswald, author of The Ballad of Sir Benfro
Dragonfall is a brilliant, beautifully paced page turner of a novel, up there with the best fantasy and one of my favourite reads of the year so far
Wesley Chu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the War Arts Saga
Set in a unique and wondrous world, Dragonfall is a soaring and fiery love story that will burn or melt your heart. Lam's prose is delicate and gorgeous yet sharp, and will leave readers pining for the next book
Birmingham SF group
A thoroughly enjoyable story which deserves to be very successful
Aliette de Bodard, award winning author of A Fire Born of Exile
A romance featuring a sexy dragon, stabbing and kissing, what's not to love?
The Glasgow Guardian
With progressive representation and constant shifts of narrative perspectives, Dragonfall is a unique intervention in the fantasy canon
The Glasgow Guardian
Its unique representation of a non-binary co-protagonist...ensures Dragonfall is a stand-out within the fantasy genre, pushing the boundaries of what the canon can look like
Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter
Beautifully written, immersive, and fantastical, Dragonfall evokes shivers with its commanding prose. At the heart is the relationship between Everen and Arcady, two characters with opposing goals who should not, could not, ever love one another-and yet. Readers, ready yourselves for angst, for longing, for a world full of secrets and whispered promises. Readers, ready yourselves to fall
ParSec
An extremely readable and delightful first book in an intriguing sounding trilogy
Concatenation
A good read with enough touches of past tropes to engage older readers and enough innovative aspects to interest newcomers. Who knew there was something new about dragons to write about, after all?
Hannah Kaner, Sunday Times bestselling author of Godkiller
Witty, gritty, and vicious fun. It's a tour de force in visual storytelling, and brings out the nuances of consent and autonomy in a digital world. I also loved the heart-pounding, edge of seat action sequences that felt like they were straight out of a movie (honestly, they should make one), and I read it so fast my head is still spinning
Leigh Bardugo, author of Shadow and Bone on Pantomime
A vibrant tale told with surety and grace
Samantha Shannon, New York Times-bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree
A fresh and intricate world, a smoldering romance, and a fire-new take on dragons
Hannah Kaner, #1 Sunday Times-bestselling author of Godkiller
A queer-norm world with new ways of telling tales, L. R. Lam is breaking boundaries and binaries yet again with a brilliant fantasy book that you won't want to miss
Robin Hobb, New York Times-bestselling author of Fool’s Assassin
Exactly what you love in fantasy: Dragonfall is an intriguing blend of magic, a thief, trickery, and an unexpected dragon
