About this listen

A thrilling YA fantasy novel from award-winning author Arthur Slade!

Carmen is a student at Red Assassin School. She's an expert at bladed weapons and poisons; and she's desperate to finish at the top of the class, ahead of her twin brother. 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.

In this heartstopping adventure by Arthur Slade, listeners will root for Carmen - an Assassin with a heart of gold, determined to follow her dream against all odds.

on the downside : far too much emphasis on our protagonists loss of value due to being (physically) one-eyed.

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

Constantly moving story

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

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!

Absolute perfection!

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.

Worth it!
