As you pass through a busy marketplace, you spot a bookstore and head inside for a brief moment of quiet to peruse the first few chapters of a new book by Amy Campbell, Dragon Latitudes.
----------------------------------------------------------
From the back of the book:
I'm not a dragon. There's absolutely NO WAY I can be a dragon.
As a dragon-hunter, I never thought I'd be the one being hunted. Until a recruit decided to toss me overboard to prove that I was no different from the dragons we were after. And just like that, my life changed forever.
Not for the better, by the way.
Now, I'm grappling with my new identity as a dragon while my former crewmates are hot on my tail, ready to avenge me by taking down the beast they believe is responsible. (And by "beast," they mean me.)
Lucky for me, I have my best friend and the jerk who threw me overboard to help me navigate this mess. Together, we're on a quest to uncover the truth about my past and the dragon world's secrets.
But it's not that simple. We're facing betrayal, treachery, and the Jade Empress's wrath. Oh, and let's not forget the prophecy hanging over our heads. No pressure, right? It's just a fate that could change history forever and kill everyone I care about.
So if you want an adventure that'll keep you on the edge of your seat, join me as I embrace my inner dragon and fight to protect those I love. Just remember, with the stakes this high, death isn't just a possibility; it's a looming threat.
Fans of Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series, Robin Hobb’s Liveship Traders, and Jim Butcher’s unique magic systems will love this dragon-filled steampunk adventure.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
