The Empress of Fire by D L Blade

The Empress of Fire (The Zemiran Chronicles, #3)

by D.L. Blade

A world beyond worlds ruled by dragon shifters—a broken empire buried in ash.

The crew of the Sybil Curse has become stranded in Dragão Terra—a strange land inhabited by dragon shifters who are on the verge of destruction.

Janelle and Elijah have become separated from the others, so the crew splits up to find them. However, the danger they face will put their loyalties and their lives under a brutal strain that threatens to tear everything apart.

Meanwhile, Mazie, the first mate, can see that the darkness within the elf, Aiden, is growing stronger. He’s losing control over his mind, and it wouldn’t be long before he succumbs to the monster they all fear. But a new ally named Kaeli will provide desperately needed help to fight the evils that roam the land. As their plan unfolds, an unlikely connection will bloom between Mazie and the stranger that may be the key to bringing down the empire and saving her family.

The pirate crew must rally together to survive and unravel the power that binds them to Fate. They will also discover hidden truths that Dragão Terra may play a greater role in their own world than they realized.

Out of all 3 books in the trilogy this was the most stunning.
I was tense the whole way through.
I absolutely loved the venture into the dragon world, the dragon shifters, even though they were major alphaholes.
The plot here was different, much darker and I loved it. It was extra dark and twisty. My fav.
I'm honestly sat here emotional because I know this is the end, and I'm glad for the endings for all the characters journeys.
Even though we have lost and gained new characters along the way, they will stay with me always.
I adored the new relationship arc formed in this book I'm a Kaizie fan!!! ❤️
I really wanted the dragon shifters to be kinder but something about them being so villainous was yum. They went over the noncon, and hit new levels of bad, and I still worship the story.
Spice at 40%ish. Enjoy my smut sisters.
