Now that advance reading copies of Fireborne are out in the world, I’ve been excited to hear that some readers are curious to find out more about the books mentioned in the author’s note, and I wanted to follow up with further reading for anyone interested.

Below are reading guides to the Republic and the Aeneid, designed for readers who are curious about the texts but have little to no prior knowledge of them, but who have read Fireborne. For Latin students, the Aeneid guide contains references in Latin and English.

**Both guides contain mild spoilers to Fireborne. **

Thank you to R. Stone and K. Weeda for consulting.
