When a dragon finds an assassin sneaking into his lair, he tells her of his life's work and his soon to be final chapter.

For the past thousand years, the dragon Vakandi has watched the people of Vakfored grow from a wandering band of refugees to a glorious city of art and magic. Under his protection, the city has survived monsters, floods, and wars all without building an army, dam, or even a wall.

A Binge-worthy, cozy fantasy
5/5 Stars
A tale within a tale featuring a unique perspective of dragons and filled with heart. Simply put, a must read!
This standalone fantasy novella follows an assassin tasked with slaying the tyrant dragon, Vakandi, who has terrorized her city for centuries. When the assassin confronts the dragon, they’re made an offer; listen
to the Vakandi’s story and at the end of his tale he will leave for good. What lies will the dragon tell, or is it the city’s history that’s filled with lies?
First and foremost, I can’t recommend this novella enough. Not only does this have a unique take on dragons in fantasy but explores the different perspectives of short and long lived beings, the conflicts that arise throughout growth, how history influences generations and what happens when relationships are tested.
Throughout this tale of tales there’s action, discovery, survival, grief, war, and it’s all topped with a cozy vibe. All of these themes are beautifully explored with a hint of mystery and plenty of emotional moments.
With immersive storytelling, it was effortless to get lost in the world and the dragon’s story. Not only that, but as a character focused novella, it’s impressive how much Laura Huie has accomplished within such a short page count.
I also listened to the audiobook in addition to reading the ebook and the narrator, Ethan Fifield, gives a fantastic performance, bringing Vakandi to life.
If you’re looking for a binge-worthy, cozy fantasy that pulls on your heart, check out The Sunset Sovereign: A Dragon’s Memoir.
