An imposter. A mafia heir. A dragon race that could kill them both. The perfect mashup of Six of Crows and How to Train Your Dragon.

It’s illegal to own a wild dragon. It’s even more illegal to bond with one.

I’ve spent my life scraping by in the city’s underbelly, doing whatever it takes to give my family a better future. So when I’m offered a place at the country's most prestigious dragon riding academy, I seize the chance—no matter that I've just agreed to spy on the city's most ruthless crime family as part of the deal.

To survive, I have to hide who I am and keep the truth about my dragon buried deep.

But at Cardan Lott College, secrets don’t stay hidden long. Especially not from Rushland Covington, the academy’s golden boy and heir to the powerful mafia family I'm supposed to be spying on. Behind his perfect smile, he’s chasing a forbidden mystery about dragons…and somehow, I’m the key to solving it.

Bound by blackmail and secrets, we form a reluctant alliance that drags us into the shadows of late night meetings and clandestine experiments. What we uncover isn’t just corruption, it’s a lie powerful enough to reshape everything the world believes about dragons.


And powerful men will kill to keep it buried. But the riskiest part of it all is the fire growing between us.

If you loved the bond between Hiccup and Toothless but you crave the grit of Six of Crows, the tension and banter of Powerless, and the elite academy vibes of Maxton Hall, you will devour Flame Theory.

Start the adventure today and enter the world of dragon racing.
