A combat warrior will risk everything to awaken the dragons and save her kingdom in Jillian Boehme's epic YA Fantasy debut, Stormrise, inspired by Twelfth Night and perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce.
If Rain weren’t a girl, she would be respected as a Neshu combat master. Instead, her gender dooms her to a colorless future. When an army of nomads invades her kingdom, and a draft forces every household to send one man to fight, Rain takes her chance to seize the life she wants.
Knowing she’ll be killed if she’s discovered, Rain purchases powder made from dragon magic that enables her to disguise herself as a boy. Then she hurries to the war camps, where she excels in her training—and wrestles with the voice that has taken shape inside her head. The voice of a dragon she never truly believed existed.
As war looms and Rain is enlisted into an elite, secret unit tasked with rescuing the High King, she begins to realize this dragon tincture may hold the key to her kingdom’s victory. For the dragons that once guarded her land have slumbered for centuries . . . and someone must awaken them to fight once more.

This is a splendid debut! A thrilling fantasy story that touches upon some great themes along the way. This is an epic fantasy story with major Mulan vibes.
This is a book that will keep you turning the pages. The lore and world-building incorporated into the story are very vivid and full of detail. A lot of the world-building is about the society that Rain lives in where women are not equals with men. I liked the storyline and things were plotted well. The pacing was perfect and even though the author's writing wasn't anything remarkable, it was easy to follow and concise.
Rain is a character that you can't help but root for. She is very selfless and very determined. I really enjoyed her journey. She was easy to identify with and very inspiring.
Overall, this was a great story that will pull you right in and enchant you. I had a lot of fun with this one. There is a strong heroine, high stakes, dragons, and a lot of girl power. I'll definitely be on the lookout for this author's future releases.
