Isabel Ibañez's Together We Burn is a lush, enchanting standalone fantasy inspired by medieval Spain, filled with romance, adventure and just the right amount of danger.

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This beautifully written romantic fantasy features Spanish-speaking characters as well as a gripping, sexy, enemies-to-lovers romance with fierce, strong-headed protagonists who dance around―and toward―each other. At its core lies magic, a mystery that pulls no punches, and thoughtful examinations of tradition and inheritance... A terrific stand-alone fantasy." ―Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

"Spinning magic with mystery, this gorgeous tale will light up your shelf." ―Booklist, Starred Review

"Together We Burn is an inferno of action-packed storytelling and banter-filled romance, set in a gloriously vivid and imaginative world. Sure to delight and surprise fans of fantasy, dragons, and stories with bold heartbeats. This one will leave you breathless!” ―Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

"Isabel Ibanez has built a fantasy world like no other, a vivid spectacle painted in her signature, vibrant colors. Together We Burn is a decadent feast of YA favorites, with a fiery protagonist, a hero with secrets, and a magic that almost sparkles on the page." ―Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Namesake

"Zarela’s resolve is rivaled only by Arturo’s prickliness, and together, this fierce heroine and grudging hero lit a match in my heart. Banter, angst, and romance galore!" ―Shelby Mahurin, New York Times bestselling author of Blood & Honey

“Ibañez creates a richly imagined world in Together We Burn, full of endearing characters, heart-pounding romance, and a plot that sizzles. I was captivated from the first page. A lush, thrilling read.” ―Rebecca Ross, author of Sisters of Sword & Song

"Together We Burn blazes with excitement and danger from the very first page, making it un-put-downable! The descriptions of the dragons and the dresses and the meals all sizzle with color and vibrancy. Zarela is a fiery protagonist whose inner strength and conviction makes her easy to root for and admire―and that slow burn romance is swoonworthy!" ―Romina Garber, author of Cazadora

"Readers will savor the plentiful action; richly textured, medieval Spain-inspired backdrop; and Arturo’s efforts to change attitudes toward dragons." ―Publishers Weekly

"Ibañez gives readers an elaborately built, fabulously unique world with an expansive history, all laid out through Zarela’s engaging, brisk narration. The dragons are especially fascinating, with different breeds and characteristics accordingly, and the fighting and training scenes have an edge-of-your-seat tension that absolutely compels readers to the next page...there’s plenty of heat, drama, and fantasy to keep readers entranced." ―Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A slow burn and engaging tale that you will not be able to put down. Full of rich drama, great storytelling and writing, as well as powerful characters, this story will capture your attention with its originality and sweeping imagery." ―BookRiot

"With a banter-filled romance and action-packed story, this YA fantasy is perfect for fans of All the Stars and Teeth and Serpent & Dove.” ―Apartment Therapy

Definitely repeat-read material!!!
Hot off the heels of her releases of Woven in Moonlight and Written in Stars, Ibañez shares her newest YA fantasy about a young woman named Zarela who dances with dragons! Go ahead close your eyes for a moment and imagine the fantastical whirlwind that is flamenco, a dreamy guitarist, and dragons! Are you also picturing fire? Good, now let’s tackle the romance:We have some classic enemies-to-lovers banter and so much to swoon about. Arturo is completely what book boyfriends are made of: mysterious, brooding, and devastatingly handsome! Zarela is fierce and loyal, determined to protect her family (with the support of her adorable best friend!) With two strong-minded characters, how could they not butt heads? And how could you not smile and pump your fist in the air during certain moments that I will not spoil for now.This is definitely a story with so many layers, like the main characters themselves, and I think it was super well done! Kudos to Ibañez for her use of descriptive language time and again!!!Can’t wait for her next offering!

I’ve become obsessed with anything Isabel Ibañez writes. Her words draw you Into beautiful places and amazing stories of the people in her books. And don’t get me started on how she describes the food in this book. Simple word for simple food but it makes you want to taste and see all of it. Zarela and Arturo are hands down one of my favorite book couples now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flaming flamenco fun
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2022
Together We Burn takes what we know as Spanish bull fighting and infuses it with magic, fire, dancing, death, and dragons. The result of that is nothing short of flaming flamenco fun!

At only eighteen, Zarela Zalvidar is a skilled flamenco dancer like her mother, who, after a tragic accident that severely injures her father, must find a way to save her ancestral home. The only way to do that is to take her father's place as Dragonador, which means battling dragons to the death in the arena.

With sabotage afoot so rife she can smell it, and with the Dragon Guild breathing down her neck, ready to strip her of her birthright, she asks dragon hunter, Arturo Díaz de Montserrat, for help with training. He's resistant at first - infuriatingly so - but Zarela can't afford to take no for an answer. She refuses to leave until he accepts.

So, grumpy though he is about it, they eventually team up. That's when the tension, the stakes, and the secrets start to build between them--burning all of Hispalia, as well as their hearts, like a fire. Can they work together? Will they be able to catch the saboteurs, stave off the radicals, save the family business, and douse the attraction that keeps sparking between them?

This book was so rich in Spanish culture and custom. I loved how lush and colorful the atmosphere was. I do think the world-building could have benefited from more depth, however, especially with regards to the magic system. I suppose I was hoping for something more elaborate, more intricate, than the broad flourishes that were sprinkled throughout. The big revelations weren't much of a surprise either, but that was fine with me. Zarela and Arturo's romance balanced that out with its enemies-to-lovers-like sizzle.

I only wish there were more dragons! Or more time with them, in any case.

Fantasy meets complex character development. The target audience might be considerably younger than I am, but I enjoyed Together We Burn immensely.
The first chapter failed to immediately capture my interest, but once the fire sparked my imagination, I couldn’t put this book down.
With talent and imagination, Isabel Ibanez has captivated me for the second time in a single week. I don’t know what book is next for me, but I know that Ibanez will be the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Exciting Fantasy With an Hispanic Taste
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023
Verified Purchase
If you are bored of the vaguely sort-of-English setting very common in fantasy novels, then this book can interest you.

In a setting reminding us of late-medieval Spain, flamenco, dragon-fighting, guild politics--and, of course, some good old "quarrelers-to-lovers" romance. These are but some of the things that you should expect in Together We Burn, a title which, by the way, is very good at catching the eye.

The world-building is stellar and, in my opinion, being the strongest and most memorable point of the novel, the Hispanic influences of the author shining through and through; there's nothing quite like it in modern fantast as far as I can tell. On the other hand, the plot, though always intriguing, could be said to by some to be solved relatively quickly in the end (Spoiler alert: I would have loved to see the protagonist try to fight dragons a little bit more before she discovers her "solution" to her problems, though I understand narratively why that didn't happen).

Overall, if you like fantasy with a slightly Young Adult vibe, or you just want to try and read a setting different from the common stock out there, you should give this book a try, I'm sure you will enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragon bullfighting and dancing!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2022

An absolutely amazing read! I love all dragon stories and thought this concept of dragon bullfighting was a really interesting twist!
I didnt expect it to become one of my favourite books of all time.
The story was interesting and the characters felt very real and fleshed out they all had likeable and unlikeable traits.
The dragons felt very real and believable and the whole continent felt real too.

I laughed and cried and will be re reading this many times I think! Worth reading the whole way through even if the beginning doesn't hook you right away!
