Trav Zander is a freelance solver of problems. His latest job, for a fee of fifty thousand ducats, is to locate the dragon in the mountains, and bring it to Carl of Thrales, recent inheritor of the kingdom of Ser. Carl wants the ultimate weapon; a warrior dragon. And if he puts Zander in the dungeons instead of paying him, it won’t cost him a penny… Trav’s problems get worse when Carl’s beautiful mistress, Isolda, makes it clear she finds him attractive.
On the run from Carl, Trav encounters Tor, the only female member of The Hundred Knights, who disguises herself as a remarkably inept palace maid to spy in Ser; Gun Morpeth, the flamboyant mountain bandit, and Carl’s chilling agent Corfe (areas of expertise: investigation, coercion, and torture).
Full length novel: 84,000 words, by the author of REMIX and REPLICA. Sequel to TORBREK…and the Dragon Variation, but can be read on its own.
