Summernight — Sarah K.L. Wilson

Tamerlan has just five days during the Summernight Festival to save his sister - or she'll be sacrificed to an ancient, long-dead dragon at the height of the Summernight Festival.

Marielle is a Scenter for the City Watch, smelling emotions and spiritual residues and tracking down crimes. When she is assigned to investigate a strange break-in during the Summernight Festival, she will stop at nothing to keep the city safe. 

But if Marielle succeeds, Tamerlan will die.

And if Tamerlan succeeds, Marielle will die. 

Summernight is the first book in this heart-pounding, grit-your-teeth romp through the wild Festivals of the Dragonblood Plains. If you love fantasy worlds, dragons, and the excitement of holidays turned on their heads, you'll adore Summernight.
