Description
They executed my father. Now they want to see me burn on the sky pyre. But I will ally with the monster of The Below and brave the beasts above before I let them condemn me.
Oliviana Lux’s world is ruled by dangerous dragons, banishing humanity to the cavern cities below. But the sharp-tongued Master Tinkerer and daughter of a traitor carries a dangerous secret: she can wield the forbidden magic her father was executed for. Wanting to escape her father’s legacy, she hides her gift. But when a near-fatal brush with a dragon awakens a magical pull within her, she wonders if the legends her father secretly whispered to her of dragon riders were true.
But hiding her magic isn’t enough to keep her safe when she is forced into a treacherous assignment by the corrupt council. Oliviana soon discovers she is being set up to take the blame for the fading magic that fuels their cities. In a desperate quest to restore the magic and clear her name, she has no choice but to ally herself with Caius Amarala—the abrasive captain of the guard and the man responsible for her father’s execution—to reach the legendary hatching grounds in the hope that bonding with a dragon of their own will allow their people to return to the surface.
Oliviana and Caius find their fates are more entangled than either of them could have imagined. Despite doing everything in her power not to fall for him, Oliviana is inexplicably drawn to the darkness in Caius. And as they grow closer, she starts to realize that her world is not the only thing that needs saving, and that Caius is not the man he says he is.

Aether and Bone exceeded my expectations and then some. This is an easy 5 star read for me and I actually read this within 24hrs.
This is truly the start of a GOD TIER series!!
We follow Oliviana, a brave girl who possesses magic that is banned where she lives under the surface. 'The below' is a place where humans now live as dragons rule the surtace. The problem is that the magic keeping everyone alive in the below is slowly dying out and now she is desperate to find a solution to save her people.
The love interest in this i fear may now be one of my favourite book boyfriends! She once believed Calius her enemy however as danger pulls them closer together, secrets are uncovered and true feelings surface, can they really stay away from each other?
The yearning in this book was everything and when it climaxed it was 🔥🔥🔥
"MY GODS HE IS BEAUTIFUL AND DEVASTATING AND I KNOW I SHOULD BE SCARED, WARNING BELLS SHOULD BE SOUNDING, I SHOULD BE RUNNING OFF TO CLAIM A ROOM OF MY OWN LIKE THE REST OF OUR PARTY DID, BUT I DON'T DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS. I AM FROZEN, A SAILOR ENCHANTED BY HIS SIREN SONG, CERTAIN I WILL DROWN WITH A SMILE ON MY LIPS BECAUSE I WILL DROWN WITH HIM"
I really loved the characters in this book from the MMC to her protective best friend. They all embark on this journey that also brings them all closer together. I am also very interested to see where Dom and Cressida'a relationship is heading.
