The students have been trained to hunt using giant black swans, but Carmen has discovered a dragon. All she has to do is get on his back.

One problem: he's killed everyone who gets near him.

Then the Emperor declares war on assassins. And there might be a traitor among them.

Carmen wants to graduate. But the emperor wants her dead. Her classmates might, too. Graduation night is about to become the fight of her life.

Book 1 was amazing

As I got older it was hard for me to find a audio book that’s suited my age and I found it I didn’t get it at start but sooner i love it it was amazing I recommend theses books to age 12 or 11 years old and above and the voice actors were amazing and the story I felt like I was there right in the moment that’s how good it was and I believe you guys should try it you may not get it at first but then you will

Absolute perfection!

This novel is absolute perfection! I thoroughly enjoyed it! The only point of criticism would be, I wish she were a little more murdery! Too forgiving for me!

Worth it!

Highly entertaining and engrossing. the characters give you just enough to be intrigued but not too little to be bored. The story has a good balance between world building, action, adventure, humour and relational ties that you will be hooked most of the way through. A shout out to the narrator too, who did an excellent job bringing the story to life.

solid storyline underpinned by dexterous narration

on the downside : far too much emphasis on our protagonists loss of value due to being (physically) one-eyed.
on the plus side: a riveting fantasy adventure story, great range of characters living in believable cultures .

Constantly moving story

The narrator is fantastic.
I thought this type of story wouldn't interest me but honestly it is pretty solid. I wish there was more gore and violence but it is a young teen genre

Great story, well performed

I enjoyed this a lot, and actively looked for activities I could do in my day that would allow me to start listening again.

Dragon assassin 1

Very good story and full of adventure cleverly plotted. The production was excellent and I could not put it down. Look forward to next part.
