Why these tropes fit
Flamefall is a high-fantasy story set in a world of rival dragonlord-ruled city-states reeling from revolution. Callipolis’s new Firstrider Annie leads the war against the exiled Pythian dragonlords, who seek revenge for their stolen throne, even as her enforcement of harsh food rationing turns her own people against her. Lee, a warrior traumatized by being betrayed by the leader he killed kin to serve, must choose between backing the Callipolan regime or joining the rebels aiming to topple it. Lowborn Pythian dragonrider Griff, stripped of his only protector, is forced to choose between sacrificing himself for his oppressors or allying with Annie to forge a new path. As famine ravages Callipolis and the Pythians prepare their assault, the trio must decide what—and who—they are willing to fight for.
