Publisher's summary

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Unicorn comes a new novel with equal amounts of power and whimsy in which a loveable cast of characters trapped within their roles of dragon hunter, princess, and more must come together to take their fates into their own hands.

Dragons are common in the backwater kingdom of Bellemontagne, coming in sizes from mouse-like vermin all the way up to castle-smashing monsters. Gaius Aurelius Constantine Heliogabalus Thrax (who would much rather people call him Robert) has recently inherited his deceased dad’s job as a dragon catcher/exterminator, a career he detests with all his heart in part because he likes dragons, feeling a kinship with them, but mainly because his dream has always been the impossible one of transcending his humble origin to someday become a prince’s valet. Needless to say, fate has something rather different in mind…

In the tradition of Princess Bride & Stardust...

Peter S. Beagle gives us another wonderful work of fantasy! Full of twists and turns... this tale plays with various fantasy tropes, and turns many on their heads. I only wish it was longer. I'd love to play more in this world. 💖

It’s an engaging story with great characters!

It started out whimsical and sometimes funny, tongue in cheek and then got a bit dark. But the story was compelling and I really enjoyed the narrator. I would recommend listening!

amusing twist on dragon slayers

Enjoyed the humor of the writing even though the narrator didn't pull off the timing. I think I would like to read the story in about a year. The narrator wasn't awful, he just didn't spin the tale. The story has no sex scenes. I will recommend the book to friends, but insist they read not listen.
