An ancient city plagued by dragons
Eighteen-year-old Zarela Zalvidar is a talented flamenco dancer and daughter of the most famous Dragonador in Hispalia. People come for miles to see him fight in their arena, which will one day be hers. But disaster strikes during one celebratory show, and in the carnage, Zarela’s life changes in an instant.
A flamenco dancer who must become a dragon hunter to save her family legacy
With the Dragon Guild trying to wrest control of her inheritance from her, Zarela has no choice but to train to become a Dragonador. But when the most talented dragon hunter left in the land -- the infuriatingly handsome Arturo Díaz de Montserrat -- withholds his help, Zarela cannot take no for an answer. Without him, her world will burn.

Got off to a bit of a slow start for me, but I'm glad I kept with it because I couldn't put it down for the second half. This upper YA fantasy has a lot of elements I appreciated and characters I couldn't help but root for. I loved Zarela, and for the record I would totally read a spin off novel about Lola and Guillermo. There was some great world building (but not too much) and lovely descriptions of food (yum). High stakes, some swoony romance, and dragons! And yes, I will take a brooding, talented, environmentally conscious love interest with a painful secret any day. Would recommend!
