Perfect for you if...

You love historical fantasy with a female protagonist who's clever, ambitious, and willing to defy convention for science
You've read the previous Lady Trent books and want to know what happens when she finally reaches the heart of the legend
You enjoy worldbuilding that feels lived-in and personal, told through the eyes of someone genuinely obsessed with her subject

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots with constant action and danger rather than methodical exploration and discovery
You want standalone books you can jump into without reading four previous volumes first
You're looking for dragons as the main focus rather than as objects of academic study and naturalistic observation

About this book

In the Labyrinth of Drakes is the fourth volume in Marie Brennan's fantasy series following Lady Trent's memoirs. Lady Trent's expedition to the deserts of Akhia brought her significant discoveries in dragon naturalism and widespread fame, though details of her personal life during that period also became the subject of public gossip. This volume reveals the fuller account behind the public story. Lady Trent describes how she obtained her position with the Royal Scirling Army, the threats posed by foreign saboteurs to her work and safety, and her pursuit of knowledge into the deepest parts of the Labyrinth of Drakes. A chance action by a dragon there led to what she considers her greatest achievement.
