Enter a world ruled by dragons…
The Sky on Fire is a daring new fantasy heist adventure that will thrill fans of Temeraire, Fourth Wing, and Dragonriders of Pern.
Anahrod lives only for survival, forging her own way through the harsh jungles of the Deep with her titan drake by her side. Even when an adventuring party saves her from capture by a local warlord, she is eager to return to her solitary life.
But this is no ordinary rescue. It's Anahrod's past catching up with her. These cunning misfits―and their frustratingly appealing dragonrider ringleader―intend to spirit her away to the dragon-ruled sky cities, where they need her help to steal from a dragon's hoard.
There's only one problem: the hoard in question belongs to the current regent, Neveranimas―and she wants Anahrod dead.
"This novel grabs a bunch of now-classic fantasy tropes and gives them a good shake.... A soaringly good read." ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Addictive and intricately plotted... [a] rip-roaring caper." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This is a brilliant novel, vividly characterised, tense, and full of surprises. I adore it on a personal level, admire it from a technical perspective, and I do most sincerely hope that Lyons publishes more in this setting. Recommended." ―Locus
"Nobody does dragons like Jenn Lyons! All the ingredients here add up to a spectacular and sexy fantasy heist story: sky ships hunting leviathans, revenge plots, secrets, family drama, and an ensemble that sparkles like a hoard full of diamonds." —Freya Marske, international bestselling author of A Marvellous Light
"Jenn Lyons just keeps getting better and better! The Sky on Fire is fantastic!―in multiple senses of that word." ―Glen Cook, author of The Black Company
"The Sky on Fire's wily worldbuilding is deeply enjoyable, and its plot races like wildfire atop wit and banter, twists and reverses, and an unflappable delight in the possibilities of fantasy." ―Kate Elliott, author of Unconquerable Sun and Servant Mage

Twice-nominated Astounding Award finalist Jenn Lyons lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, her cats and a nearly infinite number of opinions on anything from Sumerian mythology to the correct way to make a martini. After spending thirty years working as a graphic artist, art director, and video game producer (in that order), Lyons now spends her days writing fantasy. She traces her geek roots back to playing first edition Dungeons & Dragons in grade school―a passion she's continued as an adult―as well as pursuing whatever craft or skill she's obsessed with this week: pyrography, beadwork, stenography, furniture upholstery, etc. Her five book epic fantasy series, A Chorus of Dragons, begins with The Ruin of Kings.
