    "description": "Red Rising meets The Scorpio Races in this epic fantasy following three phoenix horse riders\u2013skilled at alchemy\u2013who must compete at The Races\u2013the modern spectacle that has replaced warfare within their empire.\n\nEvery year since the Ashlords were gifted phoenix horses by their gods, they\u2019ve raced them. First into battle, then on great hunts, and finally for the pure sport of seeing who rode the fastest. Centuries of blood and fire carved their competition into a more modern spectacle: The Races.\n\nOver the course of a multi-day event, elite riders from clashing cultures vie to be crowned champion. But the modern version of the sport requires more than good riding. Competitors must be skilled at creating and controlling phoenix horses made of ash and alchemy, which are summoned back to life each sunrise with uniquely crafted powers to cover impossible distances and challenges before bursting into flames at sunset. But good alchemy only matters if a rider knows how to defend their phoenix horse at night. Murder is outlawed, but breaking bones and poisoning ashes? That\u2019s all legal and encouraged. \n\nIn this year\u2019s Races, eleven riders will compete, but three of them have more to lose than the rest\u2013a champion\u2019s daughter, a scholarship entrant, and a revolutionary\u2019s son. Who will attain their own dream of glory? Or will they all flame out in defeat?\n",
