I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons

A USA TODAY Bestseller

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Unicorn comes a “gorgeous and vibrant and wistfully fantastic” (Travis Baldree, New York Times bestselling author of Legends and Lattes) cozy fantasy novel 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 mouselike 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 dead 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…
