In this fourth book of Lady Trent's memoirs we get to follow her on her journey to the deserts of Akhia, where she and her friend Tom have been hired to try and breed dragons. A dream project for natural scientist Isabella, but, as usual, she's counteracted for merely being a woman. In addition, someone seems to want to sabotage their project, and she's reunited with a dear friend...

"In the Labyrinth of Drakes"... The title alone almost has me jumping for joy! And I'm not let down in the slightest; this book is at least as good as the previous ones! It has been three years since we last met Isabella, and we finally get the story about how she became known as Lady Trent. Between her research she keeps getting in all sorts of unpleasant business: kidnapping, poisoning and arson. She also does something she said she'd never do - she remarries!
