I have a dangerous secret. I'm more than a human, but less than a dragon.

My name is Isobel Drake. I thought I was the only one of my kind, a freak pretending to be human. But when a dragon warrior unexpectedly appears to demand my help, I realize for the first time in my life that I'm not alone.

Like me, Tam appears human. Like me, he's hiding his true nature. Too bad he’s made it clear that I’m a lesser creature. Yet he needs me because of my unique skills.

I was raised as human. I know my city inside and out. My brand-new business advertises that I can find anything, or anyone. He wants me to help him recover a stolen dragon egg. At first, I turn him down. Not only is he trouble, but he can't even pay me! Then the arrogant jerk tries to blackmail me. Nice try, but no.

But then, I find out more about Tam's quest, and I can't turn him away.

There are others determined to find the egg: Evil vampires and sinister mages who lust after all that a captive dragon can give them. The power to heal. The ability to walk in daylight. Boosted magical powers. They'll resort to savage methods to keep what they’ve stolen. The fate of a helpless hatchling lies in my hands. I can't turn my back on a vulnerable dragon child.

To save her, I'll have to work closely with Tam. I just hope I don't kill him first.

The Dragon Thief is the first novel in an thrilling new urban fantasy series set in a world where humans and dragons have been at war for thousands of years.

“Awareness of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom.”
Isobel and Fynn are Dragon blood traders. They've created a life for themselves that works, or at least seems to, until the week their life proves to be a cascading set of dominos.I'm glad I had read the prequel before diving into this Kindle Unlimited book. The prequel does a great job of establishing this world, and the relations between the species. This story provides plenty of call backs, so it stands solidly on its own... but the prequel definitely enriched my reading.I hesitate to classify this as a done in one as the major mystery is resolved, with a compelling whodunit, and several competing factions, but the story ends in a manner that left me wishing I could instantly turn the page and start the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good start to an urban fantasy series
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022

I really enjoyed the first book of this series. The storyline and the characters were smart funny and wildly appealing. Izzy is a dragon hybrid who can pass as a human and believes she’s the only one. She grew up with a loving human father, Finn, after her clan culled her. She now runs a business findings lost things. Tammuz is also a dragon human hybrid who comes to Izzy for help retrieving a stolen dragon’s egg. While searching for the egg, there are a lot of other parties interested in Izzy and Tam and their search including vampires, mages, and humans. Izzy and Tammuz are real, relatable people/dragons who have flaws, but are really trying to just do their best with the hand that they’ve been dealt. The story includes what you’d expect from this genre - fighting, sweet moments, dangerous situations, paranormal creatures, evil actors, henchmen, political machinations, loyal friends and family, tragic back stories, mystical coincidences, snark, plot twists, and laughs. While the main story arc of this book is resolved, the epilogue ends on a cliffhanger/teaser for the next book so be prepared.

The story is a little confusing at first. I'd suggest reading the prequel to fill in the gaps first. The bond between man and dragon is the bond of family and parent and child. The clash between species and the result of the Great Dragon War provides the current unhealthy status with vampires adding to the problems. The characters and plot are good and engaging. Overall a good read for the older reader.
