Summary

If you think having one dragon around messes up your life, imagine what it’s like when a second one shows up.

I’m Val Thorvald, assassin of magical bad guys and tenuous ally to the dragon lord Zav.

He still calls me a mongrel and thinks I’m a criminal, but he healed my wounds after we fought those dark elves together. That’s progress, right? Maybe one day, he’ll deign to use my name.

Not that this is my primary concern. I’m busy with a new assignment. Nin, the awesome lady who makes my magical weapons, has a werewolf problem. Specifically, sleazy loser werewolf competitors who want to drive her out of business. Or worse.

Normally, a couple of werewolves wouldn’t be a big deal, but these ones have powerful allies. And then there’s that new dragon.

It turns out he’s one of Zav’s enemies, and he wants to use me against him.

I don’t know why he’s picking on me — it’s not like I mean something to Zav — but somehow I’ve gotten stuck in the middle of dragon politics. If you think that sounds like a nightmare, you’re right.

If I can’t figure out a way to help my friend with the werewolves while keeping these dragons from tearing me apart, we’re both going to end up flatter than the deck chairs when Zav lands on the roof of my apartment building.

Pick up Battle Bond, and continue the adventure today!

Frustrating Lack of story progress

Again, it’s enjoyably written and narrated but there’s sparse progress with the serial storylines. The case of the day is fine, but really the more personal story/big brewing evil needs more development per book. Books 1,3 & 3 should be one book in my opinion

Great book

A good addition to the series. Similar feel and narration to the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. Looking forward to the next one.

not very deep

the narrators voice was a bit irritating at times. the sarcastic nature of the main character at times was puerile and didn't match the threat being posed by the dragons. it's pretty light listening and can keep you easily occupied but the story is pretty light weight
