About this listen

A dragon princess joins forces with a scarred prince to escape a competition for her hand in marriage, unaware he is hiding dark secrets of his own in the first of a new romantasy duology from the author of Bride of the Shadow King.

Swept from her quiet life as an apothecary’s apprentice to the treacherous court of the High King, Rosie Harpwood is shocked to discover she is the long-lost daughter of the demonic Dragon Queen. Reawakening her dormant magic is the kingdom's only hope for salvation, but the journey is perilous, and she'll need a champion to guide her. So the High King hosts a series of trials to determine which prince is worthy of the honor — as well as claiming Rosie's hand in marriage.

Rosie, however, has other ideas.

A talented healer and lover of small, fluffy creatures, Rosie wants nothing to do with demon queens or saving the world. Determined to escape this fate, she joins forces with one of the champions to plot her getaway. Prince Valtar may be enigmatic and a little bit terrifying, but something about him makes her blood burn in ways that have nothing to do with her dragon heritage.

Trained from youth to serve the Dragon Queen, Valtar has proven himself a ruthless assassin. Posing as a suitor to get close enough to his target shouldn't be a problem. But Valtar wasn’t planning on his target being Rosie, the girl he failed to assassinate years ago . . . who has haunted his dreams ever since.

Critic reviews

"I've always admired Sylvia Mercedes for the seemingly effortless skill she brings to her storytelling, and it's on display again in The Seventh Champion. With a sunshiney heroine who's a pure delight, a grumpy hero to swoon over, and a thoroughly entertaining, romance-infused, action-packed plot, this book is the absolute in reading pleasure."—India Holton, international bestselling author of The Geographer’s Map to Romance

“I was enchanted from the moment I read the opening line, and once I started reading, I could not stop. Full of charming wit, deadly trials, and the most delicious slow-burn yearning. I am utterly obsessed with this grumpy-sunshine pair!”—Tessonja Odette, author of A Rivalry of Hearts

The Seventh Champion was such a fun romantasy read! Featuring a dragon princess and the deadly trials that pit her suitors against one another, this book kept me guessing until the last page. Rosie was a funny and endearing sunshine heroine, and Valtar the perfect broody--and loomy!--counterpart. I can't wait for the sequel to find out what Sylvia has in store for these two!”—Demi Winters, author of The Road of Bones

"With delicious banter and a tightly woven plot, Mercedes (Bride of the Shadow King) once again entices readers into a romantasy world they’ll be loathe to leave...Sharp dialogue, plentiful action, and well-developed characters build a fascinating foundation for Mercedes’s promising new series."—Publishers Weekly

"A thrilling and romantic fantasy adventure...The Seventh Champion is a fast-paced and exciting beginning to The Dragon Queen duology."—BookPage

"Mercedes’s (Bride of the Shadow King) Seventh Champion duology opens with a low-steam, action-packed book. Recommended for Sarah J. Maas and Elise Kova fans looking for a story about a young heroine who is waiting to reach her full power."—Library Journal

the main character made me laugh so much. Rare! She’s a balance of enthusiastic, authentic and hilarious bluntness. Great story altogether !

A perfect mix of YA and adult.
