"Kate Elliot's "King's Dragon" is a fantastic book that is filled with drama, adventure, danger, and intrigue. Strange, almost unhuman invaders are coming from the east, attacking the major city of Gent. But the King is held up in the west, where his sister has decided to rebel. Liath is caught up in it all, having been torn from her home to become an Eagle, the King's royal messenger. But so much more is at stake than one city, or one kingdom...if Liath only has the time to discover herself."
