<p>Dragons kinda suck.</p> <p>Maybe they used to be awesome, but the dragons in the world today, a world very much like our own, aren't giant, fire-breathing serpents who can soar through the air on massive wings. They're just people who can do a little magic, take a bullet in the face with a smile, and flip the occasional car. That's cool, but it's not Smaug cool, y'know? It's not Drogon cool. It's not even Toothless cool.</p> <p>That might be why the person tapped to inherit an ancient legacy tied to the dragons, Aaron Abrams, is a cubicle drone who is the epitome of not living up to your potential. When he starts having strange dreams and developing even stranger abilities, Aaron finds himself thrust into the hidden world of the Creaturae - a secret civilization of creatures straight out of stories - trying to prove he truly belongs there. He'll have to learn about magic, his own powers, and the shrouded history of the Drakon, all while avoiding assassins and those intent on seeing him fail.</p> <p>The Book of Dragons is an urban fantasy with slice of life and progression elements, as well as a bit of touristy escapism thrown in. It starts with a slow burn, introducing the major characters and setting elements, while building the story of Aaron finding his place in this weird new world. It's a world that will seem quite familiar to readers, on the surface, but a veil has been drawn across history and occult secrets lurk behind that curtain. Myth and legend might be dismissed as supersitious hokum, but remnants of bygone ages linger just out of sight. These mystic, mythic, and misbegotten beings, collectively called the Creaturae, live among and around us, struggling to maintain their place in a world that has largely forgotten them.</p>
