Fear the Flames marks the debut epic fantasy romance by Olivia Rose Darling, released in early 2024 by Delacorte Press / Random House USA. This 384-page paperback unfolds across a vividly imagined realm where Elowen Atarah—a dragon-bonded princess—was exiled by her father. Years later, now queen of her secret settlement Aestilian, she embarks on a perilous mission to restore her dragons and reclaim her legacy. Alongside Cayden Veles, a ruthless commander from a hostile kingdom, Elowen navigates espionage, war, and a reluctant allies‑to‑lovers romance as they infiltrate her father’s impenetrable stronghold. The novel weaves high-stakes adventure, political intrigue, found-family bonds, and wicked chemistry into a world resonant with danger and devotion.
