The Diabolical Dragon

De: Marcus Sloss

Narrado por: Jeremiah Culpepper, Kenna Faelynn

Trick the humans, steal the gold, gain the power, achieve god-like status. The motivations of a Diabolical Dragon.

Orion's unknown father...yeah, that shitty guy was a fey dragon. When Orion matures into a man, he spends a day in the snow transforming into a warehouse-sized dragon. Now he's hunted. Vile humans want to adorn his head as a trophy in their halls. Except, instead of letting the humans hound him. Orion blends in, swapping between dragon and human to carry out his diabolical plans.

Warning—This novella is not for the faint of heart. It contains a bad guy...an actual villain. Does he have motivations? Sure, but he still is the Diabolical Dragon. Contains a magical fantasy setting where men use dowries for their daughters, monster fey are considered scum, and nobility can do just about anything they want if they have enough gold.

The Title Says it all

The MC really is a Diabolical Dragon. Still a great book,, MC and his closest are fun and interesting. i look forawrd to seeing where it goes next.

hilariously entertaining

a nice change from typical good guy story. a fun insight into the daily life of what a shape shifting dragon does, which is what ever he wants to do. it had me rolling at some of the things he puts humans through, that ironically, we do to our selves. highly recommended especially if you want an out of the box story plot

differently awesome

this book is not typical let's make a better world story it is not but it is pretty awesome

low key awesomeness

subtle charge in out look. maybe spoiler alert. # dragon playing human. I highly appreciate to change. Bad guy...mmmm not not so bad dragon. my absolute only con.... female voice needs a little more range. But over all.... timeliness in the story is ehhhh... but I only paused it for sleep. Definitely different from the stereotypes. But if book 2 comes out im gonna buy it. I want to know more about Gloria... wink wink.

Great Story of A Diabolical Villan

Now this is a story about a Villan I can support. Being a dragon our MC is understandably not constrained by human morals. Yet he does maintain a sense of right and wrong all while being a Diabolical Villan. He has his own set of morals that he follows. And while he does sell people into slavery, he only does so when his lovers abandon him and his "benevolence" leaving him feeling slightly betrayed. Understandable, given he, as a dragon, is a hoarder and does not approve of letting his "possessions" go without benefit to him.

Many people might see this MC as pure Evil but I think the benevolence he shows his own people is what is the most telling in that regards. His people gradually flourish while almost every other nation around his has considerable trouble with some being destroyed from within and others from invasion. But the people under his thumb have mostly happy productive lives.

Can you really call that evil? Diabolical absolutely. But Evil... I don't think so.
