The Last Fire Eater

She breathes fire for a living. Surviving Tudor England will take something far more dangerous.

Davina is no ordinary performer. Night after night, she commands the crowd with spectacular flames, reading the hunger in their eyes and giving them exactly what they need. But what the crowd doesn't know, what no one can know, is that every performance brings her one step closer to the corrupt magistrate who destroyed her family. She has sacrificed everything for this vengeance. She will not stop now.

But Tudor England is no place for a woman with secrets.

Sir Thomas Lovell, the king's most feared and formidable enforcer, is watching. Ruthless nobles at court see in Davina something they can exploit: a woman with no protection, no title, no allies and they intend to use her as a pawn in power games that have already left better people than her dead in the gutter. Davina must navigate a court of silk-clad predators while keeping her true mission hidden, her identity intact, and her head firmly attached to her shoulders.

Then she meets Lambert Simnel.

History knows his name. He once claimed to be the rightful King of England, rallied an army, and challenged Henry VII himself and lost. Pardoned against all expectation, Lambert now lives a quiet, careful life as the king's falconer, a man who has learned the hard way what ambition costs. He should be the last person Davina trusts. Instead, he is the first person who has ever truly seen her.

Their love is reckless. Their timing is catastrophic. Because they are about to be swept into a vicious feud between two of the most powerful men in the North, the arrogant, hot-tempered Earl of Northumberland and the calculating Archbishop of York, a conflict that has nothing to do with them and could cost them everything. In a world where loyalty shifts like smoke and one wrong move ends lives, Davina must ask herself the question she never thought she'd face:

Is vengeance still worth dying for when you finally have something worth living for?
