Description:
From the internationally bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series comes a wild and hilarious adult fantasy novel. Meet Vern, a vodka-swilling, Flashdance-loving dragon and the very last of his kind, who has been hiding out from the modern world – and potential torch-carrying mobs – in the remote Louisiana bayou. His peaceful existence is disrupted when he crosses paths with Squib Moreau, a Cajun teenager walking the fine line between legal and illegal, and a corrupt local constable, Regence Hooke, with ambitious and crooked plans. A chance encounter during a moonshine run throws Squib and Vern together, leading to an unlikely partnership and a desperate struggle for survival against Hooke, who wants to exploit the dragon for his own nefarious purposes. This genre-bending novel is a tour-de-force of comedy, action, and unexpected heart. It's praised for its snappy writing, memorable characters (especially the curmudgeonly Vern), and its unique blend of urban fantasy, neo-noir thriller, and comic adventure. This signed first edition, first printing hardback is a unique collectible for fans of Eoin Colfer's distinctive style, adult fantasy, and readers who enjoy a fast-paced, humorous, and entertaining story. It's a must-read for those who can appreciate a dragon with a penchant for 80s movies.
