About the book:
Sixteen-year-old Niena wants nothing more than to attend an elite bardic college, but when the dragon that shattered the empire awakens again she finds herself on the run, through the fey realm of Fairhome, to the city where she was born. On her trail are her army veteran grandfather, thrown into a commander’s role he doesn’t want, the lord of the fairies, trying to steer her to his own ends, and the husband she won’t meet for fifteen years. If she kills the dragon, she’ll save everyone she holds dear. But if she kills the dragon, she’s cursed instead to become it.

Vivid scenery and quirky characters populate The Melody of Three

"Each character has something driving them, some fierce motivation behind their actions, but the full importance of their goals isn’t quite revealed until the end, and sometimes not even then. Each character has flaws, personality quirks, and all the little details that make them full-fledged people and not just tropes or puppets – it’s easy to get interested and invested in what happens to them."

An exquisitely written start

"Reeves writes with both the mechanical acuity of Shakespeare and the warm, wry wit of Terry Pratchett...This is an exquisitely written start to a new fantasy series that demonstrates the dangers of an irresistible distraction."Red City Review
