Description
DRAGON FIRE is the second volume in a 7-book epic fantasy adventure story which follows one young woman with a mysterious connection to dragons who sets out to avenge the murder of her father and finds herself caught up in a deadly struggle for power. The first book, THE LAST FALCON, is listed on the Kirkus Reviews website as a similar book to Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Eragon, and The Golden Compass.
Here's what reviewers have said about THE LAST FALCON:
"This kickoff to a traditional fantasy series starring feisty and independent teen heroine Erynn is both well paced and engaging...Ruttan blends the medieval and supernatural effortlessly, ably setting up a sequel to this fun fantasy novel."Â
- Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
"Though clearly influenced by fantasy-adventure tales like the Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire (elves, dwarves, dragons and Anglo-Saxon names abound), author Ruttan puts a refreshing spin on the tradition, creating a strong female protagonist whose resourcefulness and wit will inspire young readers. After ending this volume with a nail-biting cliff-hanger, Ruttan will hopefully continue to innovate and impress within the well-worn genre. A riveting, vividly described adventure story with a familiar yet satisfying trope."Â
- Kirkus Reviews
"...moves quickly with clever and satisfying twists that keep Erynn and Adena continuously on the brink of danger...Young adult fans of the fantasy-quest genre will enjoy reading about these strong female characters and puzzling over the details of Erynn's heritage."
-Â Clarion Reviews
"...a well plotted, fast moving narrative...a plucky heroine...an entertaining tale"Â

After learning the Queen of Galia wants to destroy her, and sent men--including her father's killer--to Alyria to arrest her, Erynn and her friend, Adena, fled Caraden Castle and set out on a journey to find her birth parents and the Order of the Cael, a group she hopes can help her. Blamed soon after for murdering the King of Alyria, they now find themselves hunted by Alyrians and Galians.Â
Â
Choosing to save the Crown Prince--and possibly achieve justice for her father at the same time--Erynn sets out west with Adena to try and locate an old friend, who she hopes has the falcon they need to send an important message. Along the way, she discovers more about who she is and why the Galian Queen wants to destroy her--and the destiny it seems she was born to face.
In their race to escape, they also find themselves hampered by two things: there are only two bridges out of Alyria and both are heavily guarded--and they have learned of a Galian plot to kill the Crown Prince of Alyria and the only possible solution to warning him in time lies in the completely opposite direction.
