Summary

A thrilling YA fantasy novel from award-winning author Arthur Slade!

Carmen is a student at Red Assassin School. She's an expert at bladed weapons and poisons; and she's desperate to finish at the top of the class, ahead of her twin brother. The students have been trained to hunt using giant black swans, but Carmen has discovered a dragon. All she has to do is get on his back.

One problem: he's killed everyone who gets near him.

Then the Emperor declares war on assassins. And there might be a traitor among them.

Carmen wants to graduate. But the emperor wants her dead. Her classmates might, too. Graduation night is about to become the fight of her life.

In this heartstopping adventure by Arthur Slade, listeners will root for Carmen - an Assassin with a heart of gold, determined to follow her dream against all odds.

Entertaining

After a few titles that I did not enjoy because of the story and/or narration, this was delightful.

I enjoy all genres of literature and found this fantasy title engaging with the narrator a spot-on brilliant choice.

The story kept my attention, so much so, that I will be purchasing the follow-up books in the series.

Pretty good read

pro
1. Easy to follow and not very confusing
2. interesting and very loveable character
3. great plot twist
4. The narrator is good

con
1. it lacks alot of depth but tbh I prefer stories to not have 2 paragraphs describing a small room.
2. the main character is a mix bag. I like her personally but I can understand why people don't like her because of her decisions.

definitely worth a read.

A great read.

An action packed adventure with engaging characters. I really liked the Dragon character with his dry humour.

Thoroughly enjoyable

This is a great story; well written and well told. I started it to screen if my daughter would like it and enjoyed it so much I listened to the entirety for my own pleasure. Will look for Volume 2.
