Publisher's summary

Ember Hill left the dragon organization Talon to take her chances with rebel dragon Cobalt and his crew of rogues. But Ember can't forget the sacrifice made for her by the human boy who could have killed her - Garret Xavier Sebastian, a soldier of the dragon-slaying Order of St. George, the boy who saved her from a Talon assassin, knowing that by doing so he'd signed his own death warrant.

Determined to save Garret from execution, Ember must convince Cobalt to help her break into the order's headquarters. With assassins after them and Ember's own brother helping Talon with the hunt, the rogues find an unexpected ally in Garret and a new perspective on the underground battle between Talon and St. George.

A reckoning is brewing, and the secrets hidden by both sides are shocking and deadly. Soon Ember must decide: Should she retreat to fight another day...or start an all-out war?

Edge of your seat reading Great mystery.

Awe, inspiration from conformity, too freedom. And the wrestle against conformity, and control. Narratives were excellent. Can't wait to read the rest of the series!!

Fantastic Dragon Fantasy

What a great ride , feels like I'm the dragonfly on the wall . Riveting tale that grabs ya by the coller and takes off. These dragons need a movie deal.

Wow! Simply Amazing

I Loved it, I can't wait for the next book of the series. wonderful Narrators.

great reading, but the story is a bit short...

it was a bit predictable and short, but I still enjoyed the story. I am looking forward to the next in the series!

Well performed

I enjoyed book 2 in this saga. Again, it ends on a cliffhanger, so we know much more will be revealed in the next book.
I look forward to listening to the next book in the series. The voice actors did a great job! Each character is well developed with accents and vocal inflection.

Still with the series

I am on the second book and plan to go on to the third, but Ember is too stupid to live. WOW - someone please write a smart female character. Spoiler Alert: The person that Ember confided in turned her in to be killed, so she says "Gee, I need to call the person that betrayed me and put everyone in danger". Told to stay put and out of sight lasts almost 15 minutes then onto "I'm bored, I need to go out in public and put everyone in danger, again". And her reaction to the two main male characters can be compared to a stray female cat in heat 365 24/7. Show some control - I know she said a 16 year old doesn't know much, but they also would not make it to 17 being that clueless. The Rogues need to call both sides to come get Ember, and run from her as fast as possible.

love this series

just finished rogue and honestly cant wait to pick up the third book. must listen/read

Seriously tight romantic tension.

First of all, you will have to read the first one in the series " Talon" to really fully appreciate this one. It has a good storyline with lots of action, but what really kept me going the really harsh tension that quickly developed in a romantic triangle. That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the kind of person you are. I also liked the way that they used multiple narrators for the separate points of view. It helps to keep the track of who's point of view we are seeing the story from. It also helps to bring each character their own personality.

Casting of Characters

I’m still enjoying this series however, I feel the Voice Over Actors for Reilly and Dante should have been reversed. The character of Reilly sounds as if he would have had a deeper voice. I’m looking forward to listening to the next installment. Thank you Julie Kagawa for an intriguing story.

Great Books

I have enjoyed 2 books of this series so far. I like the story line and the readers do a great job. The Author has done so well with descriptions of what is happening. I highly recommend these books.
