A hell of a debut novel. Dragonhart is the kind of fantasy that had everything I need; enemies-to-lovers, a strong FMC seeking revenge, magic and DRAGONS.

“The dragons are gone, and the kingdoms are falling. Not even the gods can save them now...”

Yes, most fantasy novels have strong FMC’s, but how many of them are Assassins to the King? Arla Reinhart has fought to be the best at what she does, and now whilst serving her kingdom, feared by all, she is seeking revenge for the war that caused the death of her parents.

“She had killed and clawed and fought her way to where she was now.”

Set in a place where the old religion believed in magic, gods and dragons, Arla simply believes in right and wrong. The wrong being, the neighbouring kingdom who descended on her home years ago on a killing spree in search for the mythical dragons.

Hark Stappen, ambassador for the neighbouring kingdom, has been Arla’s enemy for years. For no other reason than the place he comes from. Happily avoiding each other through the palace for years has become the norm. That is until, the King needs them to work together.

This enemies-to-lovers tale is filled with twists and turns as the two travel on their mission, unearthing heart-breaking truths along the way.

Arla may be feared by all, but not by Stappen.

“She was wrath, and fury, and vengeance. She was blood, and fire, and truth, and she would never again be useless.”

Fans of Fourth Wing and When the Moon Hatched, this fantasy debut is the perfect addition to your TBR. Filled with mystery and tension, Reinhart and Stappen’s mission becomes the only way to save their kingdoms.

“Everybody has a little bit of magic inside them, Miss Reinhart, if only you knew where to look.”

*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

oh. my. god. what. a. debut. dragonhart has everything—political intrigue, magic, adventure, and DRAGONS. i absolutely ravaged this book from start to finish. from the very first page, this book grabs you and doesn’t let go. we’re thrown into a world of danger, loyalty, and high-stakes romance that will have you completely hooked. (and trust me—I was.)

arla reinhart is a king’s assassin on a mission for vengeance—fierce, deadly, and absolutely unstoppable. (i couldn’t figure out if i wanted to date her or BE her.) but when she’s forced to team up with hark stappen, the sharp-witted ambassador from a rival kingdom, everything she thought she knew starts to unravel. the tension? electric. the enemies-to-lovers slow burn? perfection. the twists? jaw-dropping.

if you love stabby heroines, forced proximity, and dragons (so many dragons), dragonhart is the book you’ve been waiting for. i need the next one *yesterday*.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if it has dragons I will read it, but this really has everything I look for in a fantasy. Stunning world-building, strong characters and an enemies to lovers romance that is going to change the world as they know it.

Arla Reinhart is a King’s Assassin, and she’s looking for vengeance.

Fiercely loyal, strong and determined, Arla is thrust into joining forces with Hark Stappen, the ambassador for the neighbouring kingdom, on a journey that will ultimately lead her into questioning everything she’s ever known and fought for - and hell hath no fury like Arla Reinhart scorned.
