Synopsis

A chocolate-filled, girl-powered fantasy with a witty heroine who learns what home truly means, perfect for fans of Shannon Hale. Silke has always been good at spinning the truth and storytelling. So good that, just years after arriving in the kingdom as a penniless orphan, she has found her way to working for the most splendid chocolate makers in the city as a master promoter. Although Silke loves her work at the Chocolate Heart, she's certain it's not going to last, and what Silke wants more than anything is somewhere to call home—somewhere safe. But when your best friend is a dragon-turned-hot-tempered-girl, trouble is always right around the corner. Then Silke gets the opportunity she's been waiting for: the Crown Princess personally asks her to spy on the Elfenwald royal family during their first visit to the kingdom. In return, Silke will have the home she's always wanted in the secure palace. But Silke has her own dark, secret reasons for not trusting fairies … and her mission isn't as simple as she hoped. Soon, she discovers that her city is in danger—and that maybe it's more her home than she ever realized. Can Silke find out the truth about the fairies while keeping her own secrets hidden?

"Summer is the season to just … be." As many of summer’s greatest pleasures are simple, such as the feeling of sun and a soft breeze on your face, reading this series had become one of them - especially while being surrounded by leafy green trees.

Goodreads review by Simona

Îmi era dor de Aventurine și de ciocolaterie, de firea morocănoasă a Marinei și de broșurile lui Silke, fata cu inimă de dragon și suflet de copil. Este o povestitoare talentată și are o înclinație aparte pentru „șmecherii”, însă nu o poate înlocui pe Aventurine. Mi-a lipsit vocea dragonului. Mi-a f......more

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Bloomsbury Children's, and Stephanie Burgis for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
