Synopsis

The girl who was raised to kill dragons carries their deaths inside her. The boy who wears the crown would burn the world before he lets her become a weapon. The Black Sky is opening over Veyrhold, and Brant Harker has found a way to turn ancient dragon magic into a weapon. Sylva Hayman has survived the mask, the Crown of Teeth, and the memories left behind by every dragon she has killed. Now those memories are calling to something buried beneath the mountains. Something old enough to remember the first broken pact between humans and dragons. Harker needs Sylva to awaken it. As the city begins to freeze and dragons gather on the edge of war, Sylva and King Rowan must descend into the forbidden root roads beneath Veyrhold. But every path asks for a sacrifice. Every voice in the dark knows Sylva’s name. And the closer they come to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes to love someone the world expects you to lose. To save dragons and humans alike, Sylva must decide whether she can break the cycle that made her a Slayer, before the Black Sky burns away every future she and Rowan have fought for. When the Black Sky Burns is the breathtaking conclusion to the Ashbound trilogy, a clean YA romantasy of dragon magic, forbidden love, ancient secrets, and a girl determined to choose her own future. A clean, slow-burn romance between a former dragon Slayer and a young king Dangerous dragons, ancient pacts, and a world powered by stolen magic A fierce heroine carrying memories that were never meant to survive Political intrigue, buried betrayals, and high-stakes fantasy adventure A hopeful, emotionally satisfying trilogy conclusion Perfect for readers who love dragons, crowns, masks, and impossible choices
