About this ebook
A little dragon tenderness goes a long way in the “hot, hot” fantasy series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Scarred Earth Saga (Library Journal).
I am Ghleanna the Decimator. I am a warrior. A soldier. I know no fear. No pain. No mercy. I do, however, know acute embarrassment! How could I not after getting dumped by a bastard dragon in front of my own troops? So I tuck tail and return to my cave, drowning my sorrows in ale—as is my family’s way. But instead of leaving me to my misery, I’ve been summoned to the Dragon Queen’s court.
As if my life wasn’t pathetic enough, Her Majesty now has me escorting the highborn Bram the Merciful through dangerous territories—not exactly the best use of my military training. And just so he can negotiate with enemy dragons instead of battling them? Honestly, what has my world come to? Then again . . . Bram is quite easy on the eyes. And the perfect distraction for what ails me. Perhaps I’m looking at all this the wrong way. Maybe there is a place for a little “mercy” in my life . . .
Previously published in Supernatural.

I've read 4 of the books now. I dont think i will read another. The women characters in ur books are all the same. Women who go into "rages " and kill everyone. The rage thing has become uninteresting and boring . Too bad it wasn't changed up a bit in the other books.

This novella only makes sense once you read after you have read the other books in the series. It is not really a standalone book since you don't really appreciate the characters as much as you do once you read about them in the other books. My only complaint is that I wish the author put in some timelines, it took me a while before I caught on that the events in this book happens much earlier in time and is almost like a flashback. Good series.
