"Likable, funny characters, as well as the New Orleans' setting, make this dragon fantasy realistic."
Dragons Deal

However, Griffen McCandles quickly realizes that the dubious honor has its own challenges, not the least of which is the hefty price tag attached to being king. In addition, he's got a lot of old-school dragons challenging him, someone trying to set up the casino for a big fall, and swirling conspiracy-based machinations about a prophecy that might be about him...or his sister's unborn child.
Not only are Griffen and his sister, Val, likable and funny characters, the literary setting of New Orleans has authentic elements that add a sense of reality to the events taking place in the city. Although two other Dragons books exist, DRAGONS DEAL quickly brings the reader up to speed, so the work is a fast-paced and enjoyable read.
Book Summary
New York Times bestselling author Robert Asprin and Jody Lynn Nye up the ante in the latest tale of dragons in the Big Easy!
As head dragon and owner of a successful gambling operation in New Orleans, Griffen McCandles has a lot on his plate. Especially since the Krewe of Fafnir-a society of dragons-has asked him to be the king of their Mardi Gras parade. Being the king is a huge honor, and despite the extra responsibilities, Griffen can't resist the Krewe's offer to lead the biggest party of the year.
But not everyone is happy with Griffen's new leadership status. A group of powerful dragons is out to bankrupt his business, from the inside out. And when a young dragon in Griffen's employ is murdered, it becomes clear that certain dragons will stop at nothing to dethrone the new king...
