GIVEAWAY: Stronger Than A Bronze Dragon

Welcome, book fiends! Gather round our bubbling cauldron of sakura potion -- it's time for a brand new giveaway!

But first, I think this book deserves a bit of a special introduction! I read STRONGER THAN A BRONZE DRAGON as part of a book tour organised by The Royal Polar Bear Reads.

I absolutely love how this book focuses on a commoner POV that in many other books would simply be a sidekick. Anlei is a forceful protagonist with just a little hint of darkness, and her character arc is super interesting. I also adore how the book digs into the nuances of privilege and power in the worldbuilding. It’s a super fun and action-packed book that you should definitely try!

(Shout-out to Shealea @ Shut Up Shealea for buddy reading this with me!)

When a powerful viceroy arrives with a fleet of mechanical dragons and stops an attack on Anlei’s village, the villagers see him as a godsend. They agree to give him their sacred, enchanted River Pearl in exchange for permanent protection—if he’ll marry one of the village girls to solidify the alliance. Anlei is appalled when the viceroy selects her as a bride, but with the fate of her people at stake, she sees no choice but to consent. Anlei’s noble plans are sent into a tailspin, however, when a young thief steals the River Pearl for himself. Knowing the viceroy won’t protect her village without the jewel, she takes matters into her own hands. But once she catches the thief, she discovers he needs the pearl just as much as she does. The two embark on an epic quest across the land and into the Courts of Hell, taking Anlei on a journey that reveals more is at stake than she could have ever imagined.
