Publisher's summary

The only way to free her sister is to make a deal with a dragon…

In a city where brutal elves reign, with powerful dragon shifters as their henchmen, street thief Saskia’s only hope to rescue her sister lies with the gruff dragon shifter, Castor. He needs someone to pull off a heist of mysterious item, and she’s the only one desperate enough to do it. With Castor’s help, she’s able to save her sister—but now she owes him a dangerous debt.

To pay him back, Saskia embarks on a perilous mission to infiltrate the palace as a lady's maid. As she navigates the treacherous world of elf nobility, Saskia becomes entangled in palace politics and finds herself drawn to an elvish scholar, despite the dragon's warning. But now, Saskia’s bargain has put her in the sights of the sinister elven Empress Eirana.

In order to survive—and to protect the brusque dragon shifter who means more to her than she’s ready to admit—Saskia must face off against a centuries-old empress, whose dark powers can destroy an entire kingdom.

In a world teeming with magic and political intrigue, Saskia must find the strength within herself to navigate false alliances, uncover the truth, and forge her own destiny.

Action packed (with dragons!)

Finally, a book with dragons, elves, and humans and a lot of their intertwined history and lore discussed. I liked the various scrapes the main characters found themselves in and the storyline was active enough to keep me listening. New to me author but I'll definitely be looking for more of her work. I'll also be watching for the next installment of this series. Very obviously this is book 1 in a series, but thankfully there's no huge cliffhanger, just a tease about what's going on come.

Narrator did a good job expressing emotion and changing voices for different characters.

Enjoyable

I found this book very enjoyable to listen to. It did not capture my attention as some of Ava’s other series but I enjoyed it non the less. This book is in a land where the elves rule. Dragons work for the Elves and humans are dispensable. The writing is very good as Ava’s always is but it was a little slow to get into the action for me.

Elf World

I had read this book back in January. What would you do to protect your sister? Follow Saskia as she makes deals and goes undercover to get her sister. What will happen when she needs to pay her debt to the dragon Castor? What feelings will she get for him? Will it be to protect him too? Follow the magic you will not be disappointed.
