What do you do when you've recently learned you're a
hereditary dragon of nearly pure blood and are running your
friend and mentor's casino in New Orleans? Accept the
invitation to re-energize a society of dragons, the Krewe
of Fafnir, and be the king of its Mardi Gras parade, of
course!
However, Griffen McCandles quickly realizes that the
dubious honor has its own challenges, not the least of
which is the hefty price tag attached to being king. In
addition, he's got a lot of old-school dragons challenging
him, someone trying to set up the casino for a big fall,
and swirling conspiracy-based machinations about a prophecy
that might be about him...or his sister's unborn child.
Not only are Griffen and his sister, Val, likable and funny
characters, the literary setting of New Orleans has
authentic elements that add a sense of reality to the
events taking place in the city. Although two other Dragons
books exist, DRAGONS DEAL quickly brings the reader up to
speed, so the work is a fast-paced and enjoyable read.
New York Times bestselling author Robert Asprin and Jody
Lynn Nye up the ante in the latest tale of dragons in the
Big Easy!
As head dragon and owner of a successful gambling
operation in New Orleans, Griffen McCandles has a lot on
his plate. Especially since the Krewe of Fafnir-a society
of dragons-has asked him to be the king of their Mardi
Gras parade. Being the king is a huge honor, and despite
the extra responsibilities, Griffen can't resist the
Krewe's offer to lead the biggest party of the year.
But not everyone is happy with Griffen's new leadership
status. A group of powerful dragons is out to bankrupt his
business, from the inside out. And when a young dragon in
Griffen's employ is murdered, it becomes clear that
certain dragons will stop at nothing to dethrone the new
king...
