The Dragocracy Chronicles

I never suspected the lava rock I threw into the firepit was actually an egg. I'm blown away when it hatches to reveal a reptile with a voracious appetite. Cute little bugger, until it learns to talk. The bossy critter thinks he can order me around. Claims he's a dragon. Says when he grows strong enough, he wants to rule the world. I say go ahead. He can't do any worse than our current politicians.

My name is Matias and my life has become a soap opera since a bossy dragon adopted me. I found a half-drowned lizard while hiking, but the hungry reptile isn't the only thing I picked up in Charcani Chico. Kayleigh, a beautiful and curvy woman with amnesia, needs my help, too. Somehow, they both end up living in my house and that's where the craziness starts. First off, turns out the little lizard I came across is a dragon. How do I know? Because she told me! Yes, my little Pollita can talk, and she's making grandiose plans for the future.

Being a grumpy ex-soldier means I like being alone. What better place for solitude, far from home and bad memories, than a remote chalet in Italy? Peace and quiet, just what I need to write my next book. You know what they say about best laid plans, right? Somehow I end sheltering a single mom on the run with her kid—and a talking lizard.

I thought my grandfather could be demanding, but that was before a baby dragon came into my life. My orange menace seems to think he'll rule the world. I have my doubts, seeing as how I've encountered squirrels bigger than him. Keeping his secret hasn't been easy because he keeps talking to everyone—and decreeing them his servants. It's like he wants the wrong sorts to come after him. And no surprise, they do.
