The Sunset Sovereign: A Dragon's Memoir by Laura Huie

When a dragon finds an assassin sneaking into his lair, he tells her of his life's work and his soon to be final chapter. For the past thousand years, the dragon Vakandi has watched the people of Vakfored grow from a wandering band of refugees to a glorious city of art and magic. Under his protection, the city has survived monsters, floods, and wars all without building an army, dam, or even a wall. But time changes everything and now the citizens of his beloved city want him dead. Vakandi spends his last day telling his assassin why he loves them, and why it's his time to die.

This story makes you question quite a few things and understandings, while wrapping it all up in a pretty bow with a dragon main character. I loved the growth and Huie's writing style and personal experiences only made the story stronger and easier to connect with.
