Drifting Dragons 8

During their stay at the bustling trade town of Majuro, the crew of the Quin Zaza catches wind of an elusive dragon dwelling within the Tian Shan Maze, whose meat is said to deliver the diner to culinary paradise. Unfortunately, they find that the city has contracted Captain Kurga of the slayer vessel, the Plana Grava, to fell the legendary beast. To catch and savour, or to kill and let rot? When the two ships clash over the head of one dragon, the ensuing dogfight grows so intense that it shakes the very heavens!

Take to the skies with the scrappy crew of the airship Quin Zaza as they hunt the fantastical giants that rule their world... DRAGONS!
