Once Upon a Time…
For three thousand years, an ancient dragon god has protected the borders of the Sheltered Lands. In return he makes only one demand: every one hundred years, the mortal ruler must send their heir to serve as his consort… for as long as they can survive.
Sachielle of House Roquebarre is the thirty-first consort to be sacrificed to the monster who guards the mountain passes. She is young, beautiful–and she has three secrets.
First: she’s a disposable orphan trained in seduction.
Second: her assassin-trained handmaid, Zanya, is the only person she has ever loved.
Third—and most dangerous: she’s cursed. Sachi and Zanya have five weeks to murder the Dragon in his bed. If they fail, the mortal king’s curse will steal not just Sachi’s life, but her very soul.
The Dragon has only one secret: he is nothing like what they have been told. And he will do whatever it takes to possess them both.

What I thought about Consort of Fire
I'm a big fan of the Beyond series from this author duo, and so when I
saw this, I wanted to check it out. In Consort of Fire, Kit Rocha has
created a world in the year 2999 full of dragons and rulers and rules.
Sachi
is promised to one of the dragon rulers but she has her own agenda with
her handmaid and her best friend and woman she loves called Zanya.
They are out to kill the dragon but first Sachi must pretend she is a
willing consort in order to lure him in.
Ash, the dragon is an
interesting character. He's intrigued by Sachi and Zanya and has his own
agenda. There's plenty of erotic content here, which if you've read
this author before, you know they can deliver with some super steamy
scenes and they do not disappoint in Consort of Fire. Loved it!
I
did have a bit of a problem with the language -- the chapters start
with a date, reminding the reader it's the year 2999, but the language
seems very "old english" to this reader and it threw me off every single
time. I also found some of the early chapters verbose in descriptions
that also kept me from sinking into the story. This all got better as I
kept reader, but it was something I notices and it took me out of the
story at times.
Overall, a great start to what looks like a terrific erotic romance / fantasy series.
