The Goddess of Fire calls from the Isle of Stone, and Caelan must obey.
But the new king must first unravel a lifetime of secrets if he wants to have any chance of saving Drayce’s life.
Caelan and his companions battle dragon clans and cranky gods in their quest to protect their world from the Goddess of the Hunt.

Wings of Fire is the fourth book in the six-book Godstone Saga fantasy series and is not a standalone. The story contains danger, secrets, bossy gods, stolen kisses, a new king finding his way, a possessive boyfriend, magic, and lots of delicious angst.
Review
I love this series with its mix of fantasy, magic, and modern technology. The author is very mean to her characters in this story. It’s wonderful. I’m already hanging out for the next book. The friendship, and family feel, between the MCs is a highlight, and I enjoyed the addition of new characters in this book.
The author left the last book in a very unexpected, evil place, and I was very relieved to see Drayce again in this story. But worried for him too. He goes through so much horrible stuff, and the resolution of the plotline with his father was very satisfying. Rayne doesn’t fare too well either, as his past catches up with him too as I figured it would.
I love Caelan and Drayce’s relationship and friendship. They’ve both grown a lot since the first book, and I love how they are everything to each other. I love Eno and Rayne too, and how they’re older which gives a slightly different slant to their relationship. I like how all four bring different personalities and strengths to their found family.
Haru and Adrian are fabulous editions to the story, and I hope we haven’t seen the last of them. I’m also hoping there might be a romance on the horizon between them.
While Drayce’s family, with the exception of his sister, are horrible, the Omari clan totally rock. I particularly loved the reveal regarding them. Their culture was interesting and I liked that it wasn’t based on the Western world. Tea for the win.
The worldbuilding is interesting and I like that it’s a bit different with its fantasy, yet contemporary, technology feel. Learning more about the dragons was fun, and I loved the reveal about Drayce’s age. I love how the story is getting darker, and building closer towards the final book, and I can’t wait to find out how it’s going to go down.
I totally don’t trust the gods and am worried about Cael going forward, especially as he’d not done bonding with them yet.
5 out of 5 stars.
