Booklist - 10/15/2019 Milla is a servant girl on the island nation of Arcosi, where legend has it that dragons once lived. Milla works as a runner for a pair of twin nobles, Tarya and Isak, and as Duke Olvar is throwing a ball when the story starts, she's quite busy. But during her rush around the island, she witnesses a man's murder and discovers that he hid a bag of dragon eggs before his death. Duke Olvar, naming himself “The Dragon Duke,” is determined to own whatever hatches out of those eggs, and if he has to take prisoners to do it, he will. But he'll be disappointed when the dragon hatchlings choose four teenagers—Milla, Tarya, Isak, and the Duke’s own son, Vigoas—as their masters. After the eggs hatch, the Duke changes everything about how Arcosi works, setting stringent immigration laws to protect his dragons and their riders. While the immigration storyline is timely, the plot takes considerable time to get going and flows in a predictable manner. Buy for large collections only. - Copyright 2019 Booklist.
