Sarah A. Parker

And Victor's article has a highly specific, curated recommendation for that exact craving.

A book called When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker.

Yes.

For the reader suffering from serious dragon withdrawal, this novel offers a richly imagined, sprawling fantasy world filled with unique magic, intense romance, and the breathtaking mythological creatures they are looking for.

Yep

... like Sarah Parker.

Oh, like, now she's trad.

Like [laughs]

Mm-hmm

... and then I like just went down a rabbit hole.

But I started with, you know, the, the stereotypical romance, like, or romantasys, the Sarah Parker or the Sarah Maas, um-

Oh, yeah

But some parts of it, even now, bearing in mind, I probably read that first book last, I'm pretty sure it was in the summer.

I can still visually in my mind see parts of the book because it was just... written so well and it was really it just felt very different to other things that were out there at the time so I really really want to get back to that series a bit like Ballad of Fallen Dragon situation it's the I need to refresh my memory about what happened during book one and obviously Laura is an indie author the fan base is completely different to that of someone like Sarah A Parker so I need to try it's unlikely I'm going to find a really good overview of yeah book to read before going into the second book so

yeah that makes sense I need to do that that makes sense I also have another special mention which isn't on my 26th for 2026 but a big priority for me in September will be the Blood and Steel series as you guys know Tor absolutely loves that series and loves Helen is it Shura? Sure.

She loves Helen's overall body of work

I mean, we were here for all of the romantasy, all of the epic fantasy.

We had Sarah A. Parker on the show.

That was like a fangirl moment for us, but we are huge fans as well.

And obviously, anything else will get like, oh my God, give me more One Dark Window, please.

I mean, When the Moon Hatched, epic fantasy, love, just rip your heart out, um, but also- Love it ... prosy- Yeah ... beautiful world building, character building.

Just- Yeah ... yeah, rip, definitely, like, rip your heart out, and that is Sarah Parker.

The f- the first series, Throne of Glass- Yes, Sarah J. Maas ...

Sarah J. Maas.

It's so interesting because books, the beauty of books...

And we had Sarah A. Parker on, who talked about her smash hit fantasy series, which was When the Moon Hatched and Ballad of Falling Dragons.

And some of her words and some of her, her characters mean so much to people.

They've tattooed it on their body, and they see people in different ways.

because you said by the name she's British, so speaking out loud, it's not going to be Metal Slinger, it's not going to be Ballad of the Fallen Dragon.

Ooh, Sarah A. Parker.

No, don't talk, I'm not asking.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
