"Firelight soars to dizzying heights, combining forbidden love, scorching romance, and thrilling danger." -- Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of Paranormalcy "Magnificent and masterful! A world so captivating, you''ll never want to leave!" -- Kerrelyn Sparks, New York Times bestselling author on Firelight Praise for Vanish: &#8220With thrilling fights and several escapes...[an] impossibly handsome love interest and star-crossing impediments to love...[Vanish is] imaginative.&#8221 -- Kirkus Reviews "Just surrender to the sizzle." -- Kirkus Reviews "Bestseller Jordan (the Duke Hunt series) will have readers rooting for adultery with this risque and alluring series launch. Jordan conjures such chemistry between Tru and Jasper--and makes Lord Chatham so odious--that readers will leave any qualms at the door. The tantalizing struggle between love and honor at the heart of this delectable romance keeps the pages flying." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Scandalous Ladies of London: The Countess "Sharp, sexy, and blissfully salacious, The Scandalous Ladies of London is an adrenaline-soaked, romantic delight. I flew through this in one sitting, completely unwilling to stop until I reached the perfect last page. This book is precisely what I love most about romance! " -- Christina Lauren, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Soulmate Equation "Jordan...makes a firm argument for more historical romances that dare to live outside the ballroom or even the aristocracy altogether. Her love scenes crackle (don''t worry, the book makes good on its deliciously clever title) ... for those looking for a historical romp that goes a bit further afield than a 19th century estate, The Duke Goes Down is a delightful diversion." -- Entertainment Weekly on The Duke Goes Down "Jordan gives readers a clever and high-drama twist on the traditional Regency romance but keeps the heart of what makes the genre so popular and beloved. Historical romance fans who like their romance with a dash of soap opera antics will eat this book up and anxiously await more scandals in future volumes." -- Library Journal on The Scandalous Ladies of London: The Countess ...

PLEASE NOTE: the limited edition with blue stained edges is sold out, but you can still get the regular edition—same epic story, same sizzling romance, same thrilling twists!

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan returns to the high-stakes, sweeping world of dragons, romance, and drama first evoked in her bestselling young adult Firelight series, in a brand-new epic adult romantasy series.

Dragons are extinct. Witches are outcast. Magic is dying.

But human lust for power is immortal.

Dragon fire no longer blisters the skies over Penterra, but inside the lavish palace, life is still perilous…especially for Tamsyn. Raised in the glittering court alongside the princesses, it's her duty to be punished for their misdeeds. Treated as part of the royal family but also as the lowliest servant, Tamsyn fits nowhere. Her only friend is Stig, Captain of the Guard...though sometimes she thinks he wants more than friendship.

When Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands, descends on her home, Tamsyn’s world becomes even more dangerous. To save the pampered princesses from a fate worse than death, she is commanded to don a veil and marry the brutal warrior. She agrees to the deception even though it means leaving Stig, and the only life she’s ever known, behind.

The wedding night begins with unexpected passion—and ends in near violence when her trickery is exposed. Rather than start a war, Fell accepts Tamsyn as his bride...but can he accept the dark secrets she harbors—secrets buried so deep even she doesn’t know they exist? For Tamsyn is more than a royal whipping girl, more than the false wife of a man who now sees her as his enemy. And when those secrets emerge, they will ignite a flame bright enough to burn the entire kingdom to the bone. 

Magic is not dead...it is only sleeping. And it will take one ordinary girl with an extraordinary destiny to awaken it.
