Firebird by Juliette Cross is a mesmerizing dark fantasy romance that plunges readers into a brutal and magical alternate version of the Roman Empire—one where dragons soar over blood-soaked battlefields, and ancient prophecies hold the power to change the world. The story centers on Julianus Dakkia, a feared Roman general who hides his true identity as a dragon shifter, and Malina, a captivating Dacian dancer with a destiny far greater than she ever imagined. Their bond, forged in secrecy and tested by war, burns with forbidden passion and emotional depth.

As political intrigue, war-torn landscapes, and supernatural threats loom, Julianus and Malina must navigate a fragile trust and a growing love that defies all odds. Their connection is magnetic and raw—filled with longing, tenderness, and moments of fierce protection. But in a world ruled by power, prophecy, and sacrifice, love may not be enough to save them.

With a blend of slow-burn tension, epic worldbuilding, and emotionally charged moments, Firebird is perfect for readers who enjoy fantasy stories with strong romantic arcs, morally complex characters, and a touch of darkness. This book will especially resonate with fans of From Blood and Ash, House of the Dragon, and anyone who craves high-stakes romance with mythical creatures and rich storytelling.
