Publisher's Summary

Captain Astuawilda Kaika is an elite forces soldier, a demolitions expert, and a woman who loves secret missions. She most certainly isn't someone with the patience to teach General Zirkander's raw cadets how to survive encounters with the enemy. Certain she's been given this duty as a punishment, she confronts her superiors, only to find out that King Angulus himself gave her the assignment.

When she attempts to reasonably and respectfully - and certainly not presumptuously - explain to him that she's not suited for teaching, she gets swept up in a mission to a secret research facility that has been invaded by enemy agents. Soon, she, King Angulus, and General Zirkander are engrossed in an investigation that could change the world - and destroy all that they know.

Fun Romantic Tension

This was a fun short story about one of the coolest assassin chicks in Dragon Blood. She has always been the tease, and has a special relationship with the king, a relationship, where she believes to owe him so much because of how he treated her early in her career, giving her an opportunity to use her talents for the good of the Empire. But, secretly, all this time, he's had a little bit more feelings toward her. It was a very good, short, book, and a fun listen.

Terrible

I stopped listening to this series because of this book. The king is portrayed as a teen age girl, not a middle aged man.

Love all the others...

This was the worst of the entire series. The development of the story just isn't there. This one isn't vital to the rest of the books, save your time and skip it

Even those who are tough can be soft

By doing a job that you see as a nuisance. There are those who believe that this is your best bet.

probably my favorite so far

There was a light heartedness to this one that I really loved. It was nice getting some new perspectives as well. I laughed out loud a few times. This is also a pretty significant story for the series even though it's not long at all.

could have been longer

I see why this is labeled as a .5, good story but could have been longer.

a bit short but still a great listen

To be honest this 5.5 really threw off my dragon blood experience because I listened to 6 first and was completely lost because 6 references this book a lot. Once I listened to this book 6 made a lot more sense. anyways this is a good series would definitely recommend wish they would get rid of the .5 books though it is just confusing.

Captivating

I enjoyed this book. it is very well presented and makes you want more books.

Love this series

This is a wonderful segway between books 4 and 5. Seeing the romance bloom between the King and the lady spy, as well as introducing more dragons was very enjoyable.

too short

the stories are good just wish that they were longer than what they are currently

Short

Short, very over priced and not as good as the previous books, although still enjoyable.

great development of people

only down side was the book was too short But a great (read) and great building of other people from the story will also be reading again

great book

loved it a lot. catlin Davis told it so well beat story I had heard
