City in the Dragon's Eye
(2024)(The first book in the Dragon Reich series)
A novel by Jordan Loyal Short
Have you or a loved one suffered from magical tumors turning you into a dragon? You may be entitled to a white-knuckled adventure, a hilarious treasure hunt, and a high-stakes race to stop the rise of the Dragon Reich!
To rescue his fellow soldiers from a deadly ambush, Viktor draws too deeply on the power of the Dragon Well, and now an agonizing tumor has begun to change him...one scale at a time.
With the Fatherland defeated, and the Great War at an end, Viktor sets off with a flask in his back pocket and a slice of his mother’s strudel wrapped in a handkerchief. His irreverent quest for a cure will lead him to a remote sanitarium, where Viktor will uncover a mad doctor’s strange experiments, and a mysterious letter.
As a sinister band of dragon supremacists closes in, Viktor races the mustache-twiddling secret society to the fabled Tyrant’s Tomb, beneath the streets of Dannbridge. Deadly traps and cryptic puzzles await, protecting a relic of unspeakable occult power. With every heartbeat the tumor’s corruption spreads. Can a saucy nobleman and a disgraced scholar help Viktor find his cure? Or is it too late to save the city from a mad doctor’s dark designs?
The adventure of Indiana Jones meets the laughter of Dungeon Crawler Carl in a wild romp full of loveable misfits, naughty jokes, and the looming rise of the Dragon Reich!
