‘Jon Hollins is a one-of-a-kind storyteller, a master of epic fun and nonstop action.’ — Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

“YOU'RE NOT PROPOSING WE STEAL FROM A DRAGON?”

It's not easy to live in a world ruled by dragons. The taxes are high and their control is complete. But for one group of bold adventurers, it's time to band together and steal back some of that wealth.

No one ever said they were smart.

Ocean's Eleven meets The Hobbit — Jon Hollins' debut combines non-stop action, death-defying adventure and a never-before-assembled cast of wisecracking misfits. It is a worthy addition to every fantasy lover's horde.
