About this listen
Fire dreamed of water, but the first sip would be its last.
Gilde has spent her life isolated in the wild marshlands, a place too wet for the dragon to go. She’s safe there, according to her father. So why is he asking her to leave with him now that she has come of age? There is more to Gilde’s family than she knows, and debts need to be paid.
Betrayed and shattered, she wakes in a crumbling mountain castle with the beast of her nightmares. Except this dragon speaks like a man and reads books. His kindness confuses her and opens a forgotten longing in her heart, all while Gilde plans her escape from a mountain full of secrets.
This place can unveil her past and why she was sacrificed to the beast—truths that may put both their lives in danger if they can’t learn to trust each other. But how can Gilde ever trust again? Especially after she discovers what dragons truly are.

Clever and Beautiful Tale of Sacrifice
Embergold is a tale of betrayal, love and sacrifice. Gilde lives in the marshes with her aloof but protective father, cousin Gunter and his wife, Isa. Gilde's father is being pursued by a dragon, and Gilde must remain in the marsh for her safety. But, things may not be what they seem, and after a harrowing betrayal, Gilde must learn to trust the beast that holds her captive or risk losing her life to power-hungry sources that will stop at nothing to gain what they seek.
Like Nelson's debut novel, Sky of Seven Colors, this tale is about the gifts that everyone hass and the danger of trusting in the gifts instead of the giver. It is a story that explores genuine love and the monstrosity wwithin us all and the love that can vanquish our darker components. I loved the concept of ""Sparks," (unique abilities that many have, gifts). Gilde was naive but endearing. I loved Petra, the older woman in the story. Wil was my favorite character, so protective but conflicted and battling the fire within him.
Aimee Lilly is a superb narrator and truly brought the story to life with immersive emotion. I especially loved her portrayal of Wil when he was in his dragon form. I also loved the German accents she used for the secondary characters and her menacing portrayal of Gilde's father. The stellar nnarration kept me riveted.
Thoroughly recommended for those who enjoy dragon tales, stories inspired by Beauty and the Beasst, and redemption tales that explore the true meaning of sacrifice.
God bless you all.

What fantasy should be!
absolutely loved it. I also love her other book. Many fantasy authors I can’t stand because it’s all dark and shady and no light in the stories. Rachelle writes story’s with mystery intrigue and yet still instills hope and love in them. Absolutely love it.
