Cover of Rider of Dragons by A.T. Qureshi

The F1 of Romantasy

She wants to race dragons

Genevieve’s family forbids her from joining the deadly dragon races. But she won’t let them stop her.

He’s the trainer she doesn’t want, but needs

Without her family’s money, nobody will train her. Desperate for help, she agrees to a terrible deal: Qais, an alleged member of a dragon poaching gang, will train her to win the races, if she agrees to give him her prize money.

Every race could be their last

The dragon races aren’t just about being the fastest. There will be sabotage, attacks and all out violence. The devastatingly handsome Qais will teach her to be cunning and cruel, and Genevieve will be forced to answer a ruinous question: to win, is she willing to lose everything?

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I have never seen a tonal shift like this away from cozy fiction. It is so cool to see Qureshi doing something so unique (at least to me).

The book follows a young woman who wants to race dragons in a hella unsafe race, just like her older brother who died. Not only does the book have a lot of drama with the dangers of racing, Qureshi gives Genevieve’s character depth with the family dynamics we have been introduced to in Baby Dragon Cafe, and a fiery romance with a fellow racer.

I love the way Qureshi writes. The book is fast but doesn’t leave out important character development. Dude, I need folks to go read this! I want Qureshi to write more of these books (speaking of book 2 is out in 2027).
