Description
Few know the true identity of the masked guildknight of Mithrandon.
She barely remembers herself.
The masked guildknight-Yeva-was thirteen when she killed her first dragon. With her gift revealed, she was shipped away to the imperial capital to train in the rare art of dragon-slaying. Now a legendary dragon hunter, she has never truly felt at home-nor removed her armor in public-since that fateful day all those years ago.
Yeva must now go to Quanbao, a fiercely independent and reclusive kingdom. It is rumored that there, dragons are not feared as is right and proper, but instead loved and worshipped. It is rumored that there, they harbor a dragon behind their borders.
While Yeva searches for the dreaded beast, she is welcomed into the palace by Quanbao's monarch, Lady Sookhee. Though wary of each other, Yeva is shocked to find herself slowly opening up to the beautiful, mysterious queen.
As they grow closer, Yeva longs to let Lady Sookhee see the person behind the armor, but she knows she must fulfill her purpose and slay the dragon. Ultimately, she must decide who-or what-she is willing to betray: her own heart, or the sacred duty that she has called home for so long.

I could stare at this cover forever and ever and not have feasted my eyes enough on these two enchanting; mysterious, beautiful, star-crossed lovers :D Novellas are just a different beast, I will never stop admiring the punches and journeys and feeling authors pack in this amount of pages. The plot of this was not unpredictable, but the prose was superb. Towards the end there it made me feel hot and cold several times over. I really liked this!!!
Brighter than Scale, Swifter than Flame A beautifully written novella with a strong core story and vivid imagery. I enjoyed it, but it felt like it left a lot unexplored—there were unanswered questions and a lack of depth in some areas. Still, for a novella, it delivered a compelling narrative and a unique voice that held my attention. Favorite Quotes: “Even the smallest spark can become a blaze.” “Names have power, and mine burns brighter than you know.” A solid read—short, sharp, and worth it if you’re looking for something atmospheric and different.
