"The story of Rialla. When she was young, slave traders from Darran ambushed her clan, killing all the men and enslaving the women and children. After living in Bondage for years as a Dancer, she has escaped an found a home in Sianim, caring for the horses of the Mercenaries there. When her good friend needs help in finding out who is trying to kill his brother, Lord Kristen, who wants to end slavery, she agrees to play "his slave" to explore what is going on. Of course, it turns out to be far more that at first believed. Good action and intreague. I love Patricia Briggs' writing, and this book did not let me down."

— Megan, 11/6/2013" It started off pretty good but I lost interest in the last 40 or so pages. It just seemed to drag...and drag...and drag...to the point where I only skimmed to see how it ended. A bit unusual, typically books drag in the beginning but maybe others will find it more intersting. "
— Stacy, 8/15/2013" Yes I have read this book "
— A, 3/13/2013" Had to add a sticker to this cover but the book itself was a good read, I enjoy most of Patricia Briggs older books. I have not read her new ones. "
— Diana, 3/11/2013" Another quick but great read by Patricia Briggs! Highly recommended for those who enjoy a romantic story with a bit of magic involved. :) "
— Catherine, 1/29/2013" Kinda slow to read. Lost my interest but I was determined to finish reading it. "
— Amy, 1/21/2013" Book 2 of the Sianim series brings Rialla back to slavery. This book is a fast pace novel of spying, intrigue and fighting for the realm. The church in this world is very dangerous and deadly. The book basically boils down to good versus evil. The question is, who really is good? "
— ♆, 12/6/2012" I liked the book, not as well as some of the other one's that I have read by her but the plot and story line was just as amazing as always. "
— Miranda, 10/14/2012" I read this and "When Demons Walk" a long time ago. But I remember enjoying them. I think I felt they were about 3 stars. "
— Jaime, 7/18/2012" Decent story, a bit slow to start off but I got hooked about 40 pages into it. "
— Tkulvete, 5/9/2012" Not as strong as her other books. The next book in this group is stronger. I have not read the other two but might check them out. The world is interesting. Still, a good read from a great author. Good to help pass the time until the next Mercy book. "
— Jessica, 3/8/2012" Steal the dragon is another great book by Patrica Briggs. A story of a former salve who becomes a spy and ironically poses as a slave to find out about a plot of an assassination of a Darranian Lord who plans to unite two Kingdoms and abolishing slavery. "
