Perfect for you if...

You enjoy underdog heroines who are competent but socially awkward, with everyday skills that matter more than magic.
You like urban fantasy that balances humour with real stakes, where the protagonist can't just muscle through problems.
You're after a series starter with strong world-building and a found-family dynamic that develops naturally.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a protagonist who's confident and charismatic from page one.
You prefer romance to be the central plot rather than a secondary thread.
You're looking for epic-scale battles and world-threatening stakes rather than character-driven problem-solving.

About this book

Arwen Forester is a socially awkward introvert with expertise in tracking, archery, and foraging, along with extensive pickling knowledge. However, these skills do not generate significant income. When property taxes increase on her father's farm, Arwen struggles to find a way to help him retain it. An opportunity arises: a lucrative job to hunt down a haughty half-dragon criminal with the ability to incinerate those who anger him. Though Arwen would normally refuse such a dangerous mission, the farm's future motivates her to accept. Her task is straightforward—attach a tracking device to the half-dragon. This is the first book in the Tracking Trouble urban fantasy series.
