A Dragonslayer's Guide to Love, Valor, and Other Myths (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781250438850)

The Spellshop meets Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe in this cozy YA fantasy tale of (fake) dragon slaying, shape-shifting magic, and the most spellbinding force of all--love--from New York Times-bestselling author Kalyn Josephson

Mirren Norwood is a dragonslayer--or so everyone thinks. . .

In truth, she and her poetry-loving dragon, Calizar, are partners-in-crime. He just pretends to attack wealthy villages, only for Mirren to save the day. All for a small fee, of course.

When Mirren is suddenly summoned to the capital, she's sure her lies have caught up with her. But instead of throwing her in the dungeon, the handsome Prince Hallaran presents her with an ultimatum: slay a dangerous dragon or be cursed to turn to stone.

Despite Calizar's objections--and her own pesky moral compass--Mirren sets out on her quest. And is shocked when she discovers the dragon isn't a dragon at all, but the real Prince Hallaran! Bookish and tender-hearted Prince Hal is the only one who can stop the cruel imposter back at the capital and break Mirren's curse. Too bad he's terrible at magic. . . and is terrified of leaving his cave.

After a lifetime of looking out for number one, Mirren's not exactly a knight-in-shining-armor. But Calizar and Hallaran just might bring out the hero in her in this delightful tale brimming with delicious morning buns, magical derring-do, and sweet romance.

Expect:
-Grumpy x sunshine
-Dragons with endearing personalities
-Mythical legends
-A cozy cave filled with books (and sweet morning buns)
-Clever, humorous banter
-Nods to your favorite fairytales
-A quick-paced, lighthearted adventure to devour in one night
