About this title

Review:

Ideal for fans of humorous capers and heist stories - such as Ocean's Eleven, Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard Sequence series and Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga (Booklist)

So freaking hilarious . . . fast paced, hard to put down and incredibly entertaining with some truly memorable characters (Reality’s a Bore)

Unlike other books which contain a rag-tag gaggle of wacky adventure types, this book is actually good. And I mean, really really good (Tiny Reviews)

Hollins's seat-of-the-pants fantasy comedy snowballs wildly into a glorious disaster of fire, magic, multiple threats to people's intestines, and fun-for the reader, if not the characters . . . a dragon's hoard for any fan of comic fantasy (Publishers Weekly)

As a stand-alone novel, it's extremely satisfying; as the beginning of a proposed series, it promises excitement and thrills for years to come. Highly recommended (FantasyLiterature.com)

Humor, action, snappy dialogue, and creative solutions to unusual problems . . . in this quirky tale, it's the infighting and the unforeseen circumstances that makes things so entertaining (Bibliosanctum)

Book Description:

Epic fantasy with an irresistible hook: a ragtag group of adventurers who stole a dragon's gold find themselves unlikely figureheads of an anti-dragon revolution. If you like the fantasy adventure of movies such as The Hobbit or the wisecracking misfits of Guardians of the Galaxy, you'll love this series
