The Girl with the Dragon Heart

the long version

Once upon a time, in a beautiful city famous for chocolate and protected by dragons, there was a girl so fearless that she dared to try to tell the greatest story of all: the truth. Silke has always been good at spinning the truth and storytelling. So good that just years after arriving as a penniless orphan, she has found her way up to working for the most splendid chocolate makers in the city (oh, and becoming best friends with a dragon). Now her gift for weaving words has caught the eye of the royal family, who want to use her as a spy when the mysterious and dangerous fairy royals of Elfenwald announce they will visit the city. But Silke has her own dark, secret reasons for not trusting these visitors … Can Silke find out the truth about the fairies while keeping her own secrets hidden?
