Imperative instinct drives Maeven from the protection of the dragon's cave and into the clutches of the evil demon, Ciabolo. Her manipulative words distract him from his original purpose, but not from his intense desire for revenge. He takes her back to the King's citadel in Vatarik where the King basks in the possibilities of having a Princess of Thulor in his control. Seeing no way to escape, her innate stubbornness and desire to thwart them grows. Her quick tongue and thief skills, are potent weapons. Knowing her father must counter their attempts to infiltrate his kingdom, and the dragon mage is still growing into her power, Maeven distracts them on their own ground, ferrets out their secrets and hopes for help. Being pregnant with the King's heirs, provides some protection but as the time of the birth draws near, her time is running out. If they have no further use for her, all she learnt would be wasted. Will help arrive in time, or will her enemies win after all? Maeven - Dragon Agent continues the epic adventure begun in Maeven: Dragon Thief and shows how power over an enemy can be achieved by being true to one's nature.

Seventeen-year-old Jai Cassidy is a stranger to Korvu, but she inherited her mother's mission to find a way to revitalize the non-humanoid Atapi tribes. As a Human-Atapi hybrid, and a sorceress, she is vehemently disliked by both the Atapi sorcerers who lead the tribes and the humanoid rulers of Korvu. Regardless of the opposition, Jai is still determined to protect and nurture the Atapi.

Suspenseful and fast moving, Atapi Sorceress captures the essence of conflicting alien societies and the power of being true to one's nature.
