Publisher's summary

When a stranger claims to be the rightful demon queller of the Far East, 11-year-old Pingzi worries about losing the life she loves.

Pingzi Po is a member of the Imperial Family and the only demon queller in the Far East. That’s why she’s the only female in the entire country who has the power to live an independent life.

Knowing a demon queller comes along only once every few hundred years fills her with confidence. But after a young man in a far-off province threatens to replace her, Pingzi must travel to that province, where she matches her skills against his. For the first time in her life, Pingzi fails. No longer a demon queller, she knows the emperor can now marry her off in order to gain political favor. She can’t go home.

But refusing to go home means disobeying the emperor. It would break a myriad of laws—and many are punishable by grotesque deaths.

Devastated at losing her freedom, Pingzi is horrified by her only two choices. She doesn’t know how she can survive in a nation where so many laws stack up against girls and women.

The best of the Pingzi & Benzel mysteries!

Prior to reading the first Pingzi & Benzel mystery I would never have imagined how much I would enjoy stories about an 11-year-old Demon Queller and her guardian. But now having finished the fourth book in the series I find myself fully addicted to Pingzi & Benzel’s adventures. The Dragon Garden chronicles Pingzi’s adventures as she went to find a demon as well as confront/meet a potential Demon Queller. As the story progresses the reader is witness to Pingzi’s growth as not only a Demon Queller, but her loss of naivety. My review is based on listening to the audiobook for The Dragon Garden, and honestly, I believe the only thing better than reading one of Resa Nelson’s books, is listening to her narrate her own stories. If you enjoy stories with interesting characters, a story arc that is rich and interesting, then I cannot recommend the Pingzi & Benzel mystery stories enough – in fact, all of Resa’s stories are excellent entertainment.
