The Last of the Firedrakes

She never felt like she belonged…until magic pulled her into a world beyond her wildest imagination. Sixteen-year-old Aurora wishes she were anyone else. Mistreated by her adopted family and bullied at school, she believes things can’t get any worse. But when she’s kidnapped and dragged through an ancient tapestry into the magical world of Avalonia, she soon discovers that some dreams can easily turn into nightmares, and suddenly her old life doesn’t seem so bad. Hunted by the evil tyrant Queen Morgana, who will stop at nothing to get rid of the last surviving heir to the powerful Firedrake dynasty, Aurora struggles to fit into her new life as a mage at the prestigious Academy of Evolon. Threatened by treachery at every turn and desperate to prove herself worthy, she uncovers a dark, complicated web of political intrigue that threatens the very existence of the seven kingdoms of Avalonia. Aided by the powerful Duke of Silverthorne, a fae friend, and a handsome but mysterious outlaw called the Black Wolf, Aurora struggles to master her magic and get her rare powers under control before it’s too late. If she fails, her new home and her family will be enslaved forever... The Last of the Firedrakes is the first novel in The Avalonia Chronicles series of enchanting YA fantasies.

The story line is brilliant and engrossing till the last word. Farah Oomerbhoy has brilliantly maneuvered the plot to a point where the reader is left asking for more.

The fact that the protagonist isn't portrayed as someone who is flawless and perfect, but instead she is shown as someone who is proud to flaunt her flaws and learns to embrace them, makes this book all the more compelling.

The last of the Firedrakes is an enthralling book that sizzles with romance, and is filled with resilience, and magic.

“A run-of-the-mill story in a beautifully drawn fantasy world.” – Kirkus Reviews
