About

Aaron Abrams was frustrated, fed up with his failure to live up to his so-called potential. Assassination attempts and strange new abilities leave him questioning his sanity until he's pulled into the Drakon, an ancient society that loosely unites and governs the descendants of the most legendary beasts — dragons. To survive and make the most of his new life, Aaron will need to learn about magic, the power of his strange heritage, the hidden world of the Creaturae, and figure out just what the hell he's going to do as the long-awaited leader of the Drakon. At least dragons are rich, right?  Here be dragons! Sorta. What can you expect from The Book of Dragons ? ✴   Pie of Life: What the heck is 'pie of life,' you ask? A much bigger chunk than a mere slice, ready for you to sink your teeth into. ✴  A slow burn: The story doesn't leap between major events, but lets the characters exist and interact with each other and the world around them. ✴  Progression elements ✴  Character-oriented storytelling ✴   Lots of world-building ✴  Touristy escapism ✴  Multiple POVs, each with a narrative voice adapted to the character. ✴   A new look at creatures from fantasy, mythology, folklore, and more. ✴   There may be some romance or flirting, but this is not a harem story. ✴   Updates are at least 2,000 words (usually closer to 3,000 or more). "If Super Supportive were an urban fantasy with mythological creatures, a hidden world, and a smidgen more action and intrigue, it would be The Book of Dragons ."
