The One They Call Firebreather

NEBTHOS is proud to announce it is publishing a new book by Evan Staehle! 

Coming Summer 2026!

Hannah Cassidy is both a legend…and a nightmare.

In the city of Griaburgh, she’s known by many names. For most people, she’s the one they call Firebreather. Some say she’s part dragon, others that she’s the descendant of an ancient race of magic users—because Hannah has the power to breathe fire. But this same power lands her behind bars in the royal prison.

A visit from a mysterious researcher calling herself Olympia changes things. The woman has a proposition for Hannah: in exchange for her freedom, help her explore the ancient ruins of Sonus—a place as legendary and dangerous as Hannah herself. Those who’ve gone in have never come out.

Hannah’s not naive enough to completely trust Olympia. But she’s desperate enough to say yes.

Now she and four strangers are traveling with Olympia inside the ruins. The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes that none of them were prepared for what's inside. 

Hannah can’t help but wonder if she’s made the biggest mistake of her life.
