Summary

Chained to a rock and tossed off a cliff by her boyfriend, Aranya is executed for high treason against the Sylakian Empire. Falling a league into the deadly Cloudlands is not a fate she ever envisaged. But what if she did not die? What if she could spread her wings and fly?

Long ago Dragons ruled the Island-World above the Cloudlands. But their Human slaves cast off the chains of Dragonish tyranny. Humans spread across the Islands in their flying Dragonships, colonizing, building, and warring. Now the all-conquering Sylakians have defeated the last bastion of freedom - the Island-Kingdom of Immadia.

Evil has a new enemy. Aranya, Princess of Immadia. Dragon Shapeshifter.

Series Note

There is a companion series to Aranya, set in the same unique Island-World above the Cloudlands. Aranya is the last of the Dragons - or is she? Find out why the Dragons disappeared in The Pygmy Dragon, now available on Kindle.

Profile Image for Elisabeth

Interesting, but a little long.

I enjoyed this, thought here were parts that could have been condensed to my mind - the chase through the islands, for example. There were one or two inconsistencies I felt - the issue regarding her hair is a case in point. In the beginning it is covered up and no-one may see it. Then, once Zip has seen it, it seems to be no longer a problem, And why does no-one comment on her having rainbow coloured hair thereafter?

The narration is, clear and well-paced, but she needs to concentrate on what accent she is using. To begin with, she seemed to be very precisely enunciating English, but as the book progresses, she is unable to sustain this and her natural American accent can clearly be heard. Not bad though, but her Scots accent - oh dear.

Overall, I found it an enjoyable listen and would be interested in listening to book 2
