The fourth Installment in the Lady Trent series. We find Isabella now in a desert nation, teaming up with her old college Tom to research dragon breeding. I love the way Isabella talks about the hatchlings, and her interactions with the sheikh's sister. I love the reappearance of Suhail, and the interactions between him and Isabelle. We don't see much of her son Jake, which was a bit disappointing, but he is away at school which was a thing rich people did in that era. I still love the science the characters undertake, and reading about Isabella stumbling around learning new to her cultures. I like the surprises. My only wish was that this book discussed a bit more about the draconian ruins in the area it's set in.

This book was fantastic - probably the best in the series so far and one of the best books I've read this year! The story takes place in what I think is an Egypt-inspired country. The dragon content in this book is less exploratory and instead more focused in figuring out what on earth is up with dragon evolution in this series - there better be an answer to all this waiting at the end of the series as Brennan has me fascinated by the information she has dropped in so far.The other prominent components of the book are archaeology and a romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. 99.9% of the time I don't like romances in books but this one had me on the edge of my seat rooting for the characters. Isabella was causing maximum chaos with minimum effort and it was amazing!
