I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin.

When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently.

This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

That changes when my boss is afflicted with a mysterious disease, a government agent starts investigating me, and a godforsaken dragon shows up in the middle of my latest job.

I’ve taken down vampires, zombies, and ogres, but dragons are way, way more powerful. And it doesn’t look like this one is going to like me.

Worse than that, he wants to use his magic to compel me to do his bidding, as if I’m some weak-minded minion.

That’s not going to happen. I’d die before being some dragon’s slave.

But if I can’t figure out a way to avoid him, save my boss, and get rid of the government spook, I’m screwed. Or dead. Or screwed and dead. And that’s never comfortable.

Pick up Sentient Magic today to see if I make it. Even if you don’t care about me, I promise the tiger is cool.

Fun book! I really enjoy this author and have read everything she has written. So far, this is my favorite romp. The humor fits well with my own and the narrator does a bang up job of delivering her lines. Enjoy!!!!!

LOVED the DRAGON BLOOD series so wanted more. I wondered how DEATH BEFORE DRAGONS set in modern Earth's time would work against the previous story sdt on a more arcane plain ... I was hooked after first chapter and am starting next book NOW!

started out slow but got into the story pretty quickly thereafter. Look forward to seeing how the storyline develops...not pleased with the audible author but that should not be the reason why I wouldn't finish the series.

Pretty good
