=> Creel is one of the strong female protagonists I have ever read. The thing she gets from his hoard which is a pair of beautiful blue slippers is the most dangerous thing which sets the world on war. So Creel bargains with Theoradus for a valueable thing from his hoard before leaving him. Creel is given to the dragon named Theoradus who doesn't want any fight with the knight. Her aunt decided to give her to the dragon because they are poor and that one day a knight may save her from dragon's clutches and marry her and they will get a a good deal of fortune. And I am thankful now to Goodreads for the recommendation. But I wanted to get through this book at least once to say that finally I have read a book recommended to me by Goodreads! After 50% I FINALLY began to enjoy it. I remember how I suffered at least 40% of it. It's because it's too.uneventful to enjoy.
