Casts of Fire Casts of Love

Quick Savant

Beschreibung

In the war-ravaged kingdom of Verne, where volcanic ash cloaks jagged peaks and obsidian fortresses, only those who survive the brutal Trials of Ash in a cratered wasteland can bond with dragons. Freya Veyne, a 19-year-old healer with a rare joint disorder, never dreamed of becoming a dragon rider. Her fragile body with near-constant knee pain forces her to rely on fierce intellect and cunning. But when her hidden fire magic is exposed during a village raid, she's thrust into the Dragonrider Academy, a gritty, dark academic world of high-stakes training and deadly rivalries. As Verne faces an invasion from a neighboring empire wielding forbidden blood magic, Freya bonds with Sylva, a cunning dragon with a fiery temper and cryptic motives. Sparks fly with Dren Thalor, a brooding but clever and cunning rider from a disgraced clan with electrifying and unforgettable storm-blue eyes. His secret rebel ties complicate his enemies-to-lovers story arc. Together, they must protect the kingdom from all threats, including the ubiquitous blood mages. Freya's fire magic, tied to the empire's blood magic, makes her a target—and a potential weapon. Casts of Fire, Casts of Love blends spicy romantasy and intense dragon battles, with a morally gray exploration of loyalty, power, and potential betrayal. With relentless pacing, this illustrated tale of identity and ethics is tailor-made for BookTok hype and dragon-magic fans craving steamy tension and epic stakes.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Washington Irving

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is an 1820 short story by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories titled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Irving wrote the story while living in Birmingham, England. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle. The story is set in 1790 in the countryside around the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town (historical Tarrytown, New York), in a secluded glen known as Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow is renowned for its ghosts and the haunting atmosphere that pervades the imaginations of its inhabitants and visitors. Some residents say this town was bewitched during the early days of the Dutch settlement, while others claim that the mysterious atmosphere was caused by an old Native American chief, the "wizard of his tribe ... before the country was discovered by Master Hendrik Hudson." Residents of the town are seemingly subjected to various supernatural and mysterious occurrences. They are subjected to trance-like visions and frequented by strange sights, music, and voices "in the air." The inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow are fascinated by the "local tales, haunted spots, and twilight superstitions" on account of the mysterious occurrences and haunting atmosphere.
