Continuing in the best traditions of high fantasy, the contemporary saga of the Féyree Chronicles blossoms with this suspense-filled adventure. When the Firelord, Tvashtar Tizón, petitions the Féyree Council to form an alliance, many féyree insist he is presenting them with a rare opportunity. Yet while Tizón's motives seem sincere, Danaí and Joson are increasingly suspicious of their former friend - and so is the Lady of the Lake. Few heed their warnings, and when the dragon attacks, even the ael dismiss the threat of Tizón's fire daemiani. But the Tvashtar's fiery realm of Nonetre is withering, and Eshel, his scheming high councilor, believes the prophecy foretells far more than just a simple alliance...

A riveting tale of magic, danger, plots, dreams, and ultimate betrayal that will engulf two realms, forcing féyree, dwarves, and ael into a perilous struggle to discern truth from trouble as two ancient prophecies pit friends against each other in a battle of beliefs.

What reviewers are saying...

"A modern day masterpiece... Dark Fire is really, really good. The second in the Krisálys Chronicles of Féyree series, Dark Fire lives up to the tremendous standards that Newcorn set with her groundbreaking first book, Crossover. Newcorn has only gotten better, creating another modern day masterpiece with the same suspense and complexity as Tolkien's legendary Lord of the Rings. Intricate plot, unparalleled detail, and superb characterization are expertly woven into a riveting tale of danger and betrayal. Newcorn perfects her recipe with an infusion of action and humor, creating an enthralling book that is truly unique and difficult to put down. I can't begin to recommend Dark Fire enough." - Nick Pena, Editor, Chart Publishing

"A fascinating journey... Dark Fire thrusts the reader right into the action, and it doesn't really stop, for even as you close the book, your mind keeps spurring the story on. I admit I couldn't put it down. Part adventure, part coming-of-age, part allegory, Dark Fire is an exciting read and a fascinating journey." - Mariam George, Faerie Magazine

Praise for the Award-Winning Crossover, Scroll 1

"I give a resounding "Wow!" for Crossover. This is simply a wonderfully written, action-filled, thoughtful fantasy book." - ReaderViews.com

"A fiercely entertaining journey of a book." - Faerie Magazine

How do you convince an ice dragon to give you a tear when you're only three inches high? What do you do when you're dumped off at night in a bog filled with wraiths, and told, "Hope to see you in the morning"? Crossover's gripping adventure weaves a fascinating saga in which féyree struggle through increasingly dangerous Rites in a quest to earn their wings, even as shadows of a forgotten prophecy gather to change their realm.

Grasping the goblet’s stem, Tizón peered into the seething liquid, so like a fire’s heart that, that as he raised it to his mouth, he expected his lips to be seared. The sharp odor reminded him of scorched pine sap. He gulped it. Choked. Reeled back and crashed into a nearby trestle, knocking it over, scattering bowls, crystals and what not every which way. It burned. Not with heat, but with bitter cold, the biting pain of frozen fingers attempting to thaw. Frostfire – he dimly remembered what the Healers called it. He felt his heart searing. Doubling over, he groaned, fingers groping. Red and black embers inundated his vision. He scented fire, tasted smoke. His skin felt as if he lay out on the hottest day on the hottest stone, broiling under the sun’s remorseless caress. He was burning from inside out. Even his voice felt charred – he could not scream.
