Neveranimas, ancient powerful ruler of Seven Cities and of the dragons. 

I love this depictions of Dragons, magical flying lizards - it makes sense that they view humans as lesser. Humans to dragons are tool, tools to maintain control both over small things and over themselves. Though it is hidden beneath smiles, the servitude is know, but only truly to those chosen by the Dragons.

Anahrod, the face of villainy for all of Seven Cities lives a life of wildness and danger in The Deep - and is definitely supposed to be dead. I feel the need to say this now that Overbite is definitely my favourite character and an absolute darling - and deserves more recognition.

 Stolen from the life she has made, Anahrod is drawn into a heist which is almost certain to fail. Love me a ragtag team with an impossible mission - especially with dragons, magic, and a mystery.

There is some very *ahem* spicy spice here and there, but they kind of feel like weird interludes and I didn't feel like they connected much to the story.

This book has floating cities, hidden magics, epic dragons, found family, and animal companions.
