Their courtship is sped over – presumably due to an absence of dragons – and I’d have liked to have seen more of it. They are treated by most people as any other predator, albeit a particularly dangerous predator, to be hunted and driven away from farms.Īfter a few minor dragon-based adventures, Isabella is introduced to Society where she meets Jacob Camherst. Isabella Hendemore, the only daughter in a brood of boys, is indulged by her often absent gentleman father in an interest or passion in dragons who appear to be common enough to encroach into her father’s lands occasionally. The opening sections of the novel are the most Austenesque – if that’s even a word. This was a pleasant enough way to round of my half term: decently written in the engaging and practical voice of Lady Trent, this book conjures up a Regency style world with echoes of Austen.
