A Gift of Poison by Kate Avery Ellison

A must-read for fans of Throne of Glass, An Ember in the Ashes, and Game of Thrones!

As the orphaned niece of a cruel lord, Briand has always been too clever for her own good. She survives in a kingdom torn apart by civil war by looking out for herself. She has lots of enemies and no friends except her cousin, Bran. Nobody thinks she has any value, least of all her uncle.

But when she unexpectedly gains the power to control dragons with her mind, Briand is conscripted into a band of Monarchist rebel fighters on a dangerous mission. They want to use her powers to summon dragons to defeat the Usurper Prince and his army. Briand isn’t sure if she can trust their handsome, enigmatic leader, Kael. But she doesn’t have much of a choice.

She’ll need all of her cleverness just to make it out alive.
