From AudioFile Gigi Marceau-Clarke shines in her performance of Margaret Weis's novel. She's got a beautiful voice--she even sings at times during the novel--and breathes life into the numerous characters. In the story, a parliament of dragons has determined that one of their own is breaking their sacred code. Draconus, a dragon in human form, is dispatched to find out what's going on. Weis creates an interesting cast of all-female followers of the Mistress of Dragons. And as is the case with many fantasy novels, much is left unresolved for a sequel.
