A tormented dragon prince. A captured elven assassin. Duty demands they fight for their people, but love has other plans.



Eroan, one of the last elven assassins, lives for one purpose: kill the queen.



He would have succeeded if not for her last line of defense: Prince Lysander. Now, captured and forced into the queen's harem, Eroan sees another opportunity. Why kill just the queen when he can kill them all? It would be simple, if not for the troubled and alluring dragon prince. A warrior, a killer, and something else . . . something Eroan finds himself inexplicably drawn to.


Trapped in a life he despises, Lysander knows his time is running out.



If the queen doesn't kill him for his failures, her enemies will. There's nothing left to live for, until an elf assassin almost kills him. A stubborn, prideful, fool of an elf who doesn't know when to quit. An elf who sparks a violent, forbidden desire in Lysander. If Lysander can't save himself, maybe he can save the elf and maybe, just maybe . . . one stubborn elf will be enough to bring down the queen before her reign brings death to them all.

Fantastic plot, original idea and twist on the usual dragon and elf lore, so all of that kept me reading. Cornell Collins is also always a lure to stay engaged, his performance never disappoints. But unfortunately the characters lacked depth and a therefore as a reader I really struggled to connect with, to relate and therefore I wasn’t interested enough in routing for them. I almost finished the book so that’s something… but unfortunately I will not be continuing with the series.

Starts off a bit bumpy but develops into a beautiful and kmplez story with very impressive worldbuilding. Very well narrated.

When I first started this book shock was the main emotion. It is brutal and I wasn’t quite expecting it to be so graphic however as one chapter turned into another you get sucked in. It’s so fascinating and the story makes you want to never stop. I found myself wanting to shout at the characters who you can’t help but fall in love with. It is definitely different to what I normal go for but it is now ranking up high with all my great reads. Can’t wait to start book two! A very unexpectedly captivating story!

Fantasy is not usually my go to genre so when this was released on audible I wasn’t immediately drawn to it. However as it was highly recommended to me I decided to give it a go and I’m so glad I did.
Ariana Nash has skilfully crafted a fantasy world of Dragons 🐉, Elves and humans that is dark and twisted yet still full of friendship and hope.
Our two tortured heroes, Eroen the Eleven assassin and Lysander, the Amethyst dragon prince endure abuse and brutality, manipulation and the hand of fate, throughout the first part of this saga.
A word of warning, there’s no happy ending in this book but this just whets your appetite for more and I can’t wait for the next book Silk and Steel #2: Iron & Fire to be released on audible.

The adult scenes in this is are very brutal. I found the book good, but very annoying in the slow pacing of the ‘near misses’. Lots of moments of wanting them to just get on with the next bit of the plot. However, I’ll definitely be listening to the next book, as the characters are great.

Brutal, good, slow
