About the book:
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.

OFFICIAL BOOK PLAYLIST
- by Jillian Boehme
While many writers create lists by pulling music from a variety of sources, I tend to stick with a single album for each novel I write. Sometimes I will add a few extra songs, delete some, and possible mix up the order, but overall my lists tend to be fairly homogenous.
For STORMRISE, I chose to use the soundtrack from Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns by Maclaine Diemer, with one song by Jeremy Soule at the end (also from Guildwars). I chose this music because it had the slightly "military" sound I was looking for, in addition to having what I felt was a distinctly "fantasy" timbre. The first song in particular -- Heart of Thorns -- pretty much became STORMRISE'S theme song while I was writing and editing.
Here is the complete list:
Heart of Thorns Theme
Maguuma Overture
The Pact Laid Waste
The Jungle Provides
Dangerous Beauty
Jaka Itzel
Faren's
Far from Home
Auric Wilds
An Exalted Lullaby
Glint's Legacy
Tarir, the Forgotten City
Attack on Tarir
Leaving Tarir
Tangled Depths
Rata Novus
Scar
Teku Nuhoch
Dragon's Stand
