Our next bookish yarn is Firebird, inspired by the New York Time’s Bestseller, Firebird by Juliette Cross. I actually met Juliette Cross years ago when I went out to dinner with friends. We sat next to each other, chatting and eating tacos, and I thought to myself, “she’s my kind of gal.” I’ve been wanting to do book yarn with Juliette forever and I’m so excited that i got to recreate yarn based on this stunning book cover!

Firebird, the yarn, features deep reds and burgundies blending into gold and tans to mimic embers and burning. It is so luscious and quite frankly, a labor of love to get all of the colors and blending just right. I absolutely love it.

This is a limited edition colorway. The colorway will retire soon and once it’s gone, it’s gone forever!

Yarn usually ships within 2 weeks. Dyed to order yarn may take up to 3 weeks.

Below is the blurb for Firebird, the novel. Firebird has some darker more mature themes so be aware of that going into it.

An instant New York Times bestseller!

House of the Dragon meets From Blood and Ash in this epic, scorching dark romantasy.

A conqueror captivated…
A witch prophesied to save them all…
An unforgiving world where dragons rule Rome.

Julian Dakkia, Roman general and nephew to the emperor, has played his role as conqueror well. Yet, the moment he laid eyes on Malina, he was enthralled by the Dacian dancer. Years later, the fierce beauty stands before him, a captive on a scarred battlefield, her life in danger. He instinctively shifts into his fierce dragon form to save her, an action that may mean his head on the imperial gate.

The rules of their world dictate that he is the conqueror and she is the captured. But he and his dragon know one thing: their bond has nothing to do with the laws of mighty Rome. She belongs to them. And they belong to her.

Fierce and powerful, twenty-one-year old Malina has survived the loss of her family and she is determined to fight until her dying breath. Still, she can’t believe that the centurion who had once bestowed a secret talisman on her is the Roman general of legendary brutality…and now holds her life in his hands. Nor can she deny how her soul has always seemed to answer his. Slowly she learns that Julian is caught in his mad uncle’s machinations for domination, and helps him plot the downfall of the empire itself.

As they navigate a world where flying deathriders conquer and burn, their love will ignite a firestorm that can only end in heartbreak or death. Or both.

Firebird is an adult romantasy novel that contains dark themes, including slavery in Ancient Rome, which may be uncomfortable for some readers.
