The Dead Dragon Job

Winterglass & Thorne Book 1

When Lord Winterglass rides into town with a dead dragon in tow, he instantly becomes the hero of the hour. The fact that no dragon has been seen near the city in centuries doesn't seem to bother Ravensby’s citizens. Most of them, anyway.

Detective Inspector Freya Gitasdottir's investigations into the hoard’s origins lead her to alleged jewel thief Lucian Thorne. But is he really a hardened criminal, or simply another victim of the arrogant, decadent Gentry?

Freya’s loyalties—and her magical talents—are stretched to the limit as she tries to find a middle way between the letter of the law and the dictates of her conscience. Because if she fails, the dragon isn’t the only one who’ll end up dead.

“Lyle's worldbuilding is is simply superb and shows a wonderful eye for detail, crafting a vivid 1920s-esque fantasy world drawing on Norse mythology for the groundwork and mixing in a variety of other influences and cultures.

Populated by interesting, diverse and well developed characters from widely varying backgrounds, the town of Ravensby makes a fascinating backdrop for an engaging tale that is part magical police procedural and part equally magical heist caper, with a dash of romance and a lot of intrigue.”
