Runesworn: Stone One (Runesworn Series—Book One)

From fantasy author Taylor Night comes the debut novel in a breathtaking new romantasy series, RUNESWORN, ideal for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Sarah J. Maas, and Cassandra Clare.

When 20-year-old street thief Lyra Ashborne breaks into a legendary library to afford medicine for her dying guardian, she accidentally awakens an ancient dragon and discovers she can read the forbidden Draconic language that has eluded scholars for centuries. Sentenced to death for her crime but rescued during a barbarian invasion, Lyra finds herself hunted across war-torn realms while learning to harness magical powers that could either save her world—or destroy it.

Torn between the idealistic Prince Cassian who risks everything to save her and the cynical rogue Riven who understands the brutal realities of their world, Lyra must master her abilities and begin a perilous quest to collect ancient tablet fragments—unaware that her newfound powers threaten the very foundation of a society built on stolen magic.

The RUNESWORN series transports readers into an electrifying fantasy realm where magic comes at a deadly price and ancient secrets threaten to reshape civilization itself. Following a street thief turned unlikely hero as she navigates forbidden romance, deadly political intrigue, and world-altering discoveries, this epic saga delivers unexpected twists and heart-pounding suspense that will captivate both young adult audiences and devoted fantasy enthusiasts seeking their next unforgettable adventure.

Future books in the series will soon be available!
