What to expect

In this heartfelt and humorous fantasy, a dragon whose three heads bear rather...different personalities finds family in the most unexpected of places.

From the Nebula-winning author of Someone You Can Build A Nest In!

Garrodigh was once a four-headed dragon, among the most powerful in Kardoša. After an unfortunate incident, he now has three heads, one stump, and a daily whirlwind of internal bickering. Centerhead wants to rain death upon all humanity, Bottomhead is like a feral cat, and Upperhead is under the delicate delusion that he is, in fact, human.

When a nearby battle goes awry, Garrodigh sneaks into an elite dragon rider academy, pretending to be tame to get free food and a warm bed. Lucky for him, rider Rania Albright is desperate enough for a dragon of her own that she overlooks his eccentricities.

As Garrodigh recovers under Rania's care, all three heads start to turn, for the first time, in the same direction. Each wants to protect her from the invaders who killed their fourth head-the same invaders who seek to conquer Kardoša. When the academy comes under attack, can this wild dragon and his wilder rider save their homeland together?

This cozy fantasy intertwines epic battles with loving friendships, sharing an utterly unique perspective on what it means to be a 'monster.'

Critics Review

Get ready to meet your new favorite dragon! I absolutely loved this wildly inventive, completely irresistible, wonderful tale!
Sarah Beth Durst, author of THE SPELLSHOP
The dragon may have some complaints, but readers won't. By turns silly, sweet, and subversive, this novel has all of Wiswell's characteristic blend of tension and heart
Caitlin Rozakis, bestselling author of STARTUP HELL
Have you ever been REALLY attached to your roommates? This book is for you. It's about love, about kindness, about overcoming trauma and disappointment, and also about three-headed dragons. Bizarre and charming and heartwarming-in short, it's a Wiswell book
