What this book is about
The first Talon novel follows Ember, a young dragon whose organization Talon has given her a summer in human form before her training intensifies. When she makes real friends and meets a boy, she begins to question Talon's absolute authority — and the dragon hunter sent to kill her has his own doubts. Kagawa writes appealing YA fantasy romance with effective action; the dragon mythology is engaging. Appropriate for older YA readers.
