My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2652698005">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
A knock-out reader's hook, a strongly willed female protagonist, and a Dragon! propel this initial episode of Arthur Slade's new DRAGON ASSASSIN dark fantasy series. Carmen and her twin brother were left as infants at the Assassins' mountaintop fortress. Growing up, they were enrolled in the Assassins' school and are about to graduate when the Emperor Prince, a child, is assassinated by poison. Killing children is barred by the Assassins' code of honor, but nonetheless, it has happened, and the Emperor is determined to tear the fortress apart to find the killer. On a search for a swan's egg to bring back in order to boost her less-than-perfect grades, Carmen discovers a captive Scythian dragon chained in a cave, and bonds with him. He is very intelligent; he reads! This is a series to get one's teeth (and wings and claws) into!
