Los Angeles private investigator Roan Quigley knows how to tail cheating spouses and drink himself under the desk. What he doesn't know is how he ended up in another realm entirely-where magic is real, horses talk back, and dragons have sharp opinions about personal space.

It starts with a wizard in a cape walking into Roan's dingy office with an offer he can't refuse (literally-it's a bag of real gold). Next thing he knows, he's hired to solve a murder in a medieval kingdom that doesn't even have cell service.

The victim? The king himself.
The suspects? Everyone with a claim to the throne.
The complication? Roan might be one of them.

With a grieving princess, a telepathic dragon, and a band of heavily armed knights at his side (some more loyal than others), Roan has to navigate court intrigue, magical ambushes, and his own rapidly unraveling personal life-because someone is killing off the royal line, and he might be next on the list.

Dragon Assassin is a witty, genre-bending fantasy mystery packed with sarcasm, action, and old-school detective smarts in a world where the usual rules don't apply. Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Jim Butcher, and Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:

"This fantasy private eye tale is delightful and charming. If you were a downtrodden P. I. and were offered a sack of gold to solve an assassination, would you take the case? What if you rode off on a huge stallion from a Los Angeles parking lot into another dimension called The Realm? Jump aboard and enjoy this rollickingly fun fantasy story." -Amazon review
