“Everything I love in a story—danger, complex characters, romance, betrayal and gorgeous writing.” —Mary E. Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of Dance of Thieves

Truyan Saigas didn't choose to become a con artist, but after her father is lost at sea, it’s up to her to support her mother and two younger sisters. A gifted art forger, Tru has the unique ability to paint the future, but even such magic is not enough to put her family back together again, or stave off the gangsters demanding payment in blood for her mother’s gambling debts.

Left with few options, Tru agrees to a marriage contract with a mysterious dragon lord. He offers a fresh start for her mother and sisters and elusive answers about her father's disappearance, but in exchange, she must join him in his desolate undersea palace. And she must assist him in a plot to infiltrate the tyrannical Dragon King's inner circle, painting a future so treasonous, it could upend both the mortal and immortal realms. . . .

The dragon FINALLY gets the girl

After 3 books of the Dragon Boy coming in behind some human prince, the Dragon FINALLY gets his girl!

Beautiful Return to Lor’Yan

I don’t think I will ever not love Elizabeth Lim’s stories. She is a master storyteller, and the way she weaves fairytale retellings with aspects of Asian lore / culture is so awe-inspiring.

I’ve missed the magical world of Lor’Yan, and the narrator does such a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life.

Now off to re-read her other books— I just can’t get enough!!
