Dawn of Shiobe - The Wellspring Dragons, #1

Shiobe, freelance fighter and translator, wanders the shadows of Iovan streets, alone. She thought moving to the capital city of Soline would provide the boost she needed to become the legendary swordswoman of her dreams. But that brilliant dawn, lit on the fires of rejection and betrayal, sifted into ash. Enter the spy. Sikode, advisor to the king of Illena, is not a man to trust. Yet, when he hints at the nefarious deeds of a silversmith's criminal ring, Shiobe, despite her wariness, but hounded by a scholar's curiosity, investigates. Her dull, lonely life whirls into an exciting adventure.
Conjurers, twilight creatures and the silversmith's goons await her sword. Yet something else stirs in the gloom of the Iovan streets, something deadlier than human-summoned monsters. Something that may obliterate her new dawn. This book contains genre-typical violence, domestic violence, adult and sexual situations.
