Experience the world of Shon-Dar through the bright eyes of Trinket—the irrepressibly cheerful slave girl whose bright chatter masks a keen gift for reading people and situations.

 

This collection of short stories follows Trinket's journey from Tampica's Red Lion Slave House to an unexpected life among huntresses, assassins, and dragons. When circumstances tear her from everything familiar, Trinket discovers that her gift for appearing harmless while noticing everything may be her greatest survival skill.
 

From being claimed by the legendary assassin Vasilis to charming her way through mercenary camps and noble estates, Trinket navigates danger with optimism and wit. Whether she's befriending massive dragons, outsmarting city guards, or serving coffee to the fearsome Dragon Lady, her infectious joy and clever observations transform every encounter.
 

Each tale reveals the heart of a young woman who finds family in the most unlikely places—protective huntresses, diplomatic entourages, and even the realm's most feared killers. But it's with Vasilis, the deadly assassin and dragonrider, that Trinket finally discovers what she'd been seeking all along: a place where she truly belongs, and a master who claims not only her loyalty but her heart.

Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven fantasy with humor, heart, and unexpected depth, this collection is a delightful addition to the Legends of Shon-Dar series. Born from beloved SecondLife roleplays, each story stands alone while building a richer understanding of Trinket's world, where loyalty, courage, and cheerfulness can be found in the most surprising corners.
