Synopsis
Viktor’s magic is turning him into a dragon. And it’s not pretty.
To save his friends from a deadly ambush, Viktor drew too deeply on the power of the Dragon Well, and now a magical tumor has begun to change him, one scale at a time.
Viktor sets off on a quest for a cure that will lead him to a remote sanitarium. Here, he will uncover a mad doctor’s strange experiments, a very stubborn dwarf, and rumors of an ancient mirror that may hold the key to Viktor’s very survival.
As a secret society of dragon fanatics closes in, Viktor must choose between the power his transformation offers, and the hope of finding a cure.
To the fabled Tyrant’s Tomb, Viktor races the mysterious Thule Society, where deadly traps and cryptic puzzles protect a treasure of unspeakable power. With every heartbeat the tumor’s corruption spreads. Can a court dandy and a disgraced scholar help Viktor find his cure? Or is it too late to save the city from a mad doctor’s dark designs?
Review
Yes, that was a fun roller coaster of read, full of political intrigue, hilarious lol moments, magic, dragons, dwarves and a trio of characters that you will absolutely love.
Jordan Loyal Short is back with a bang, a new fantastic new take on dragons, one of the heavy weight tropes of the fantasy world that will have you hooked from the very first page as some characters who can tap the Dragon Well (magic) find themselves gradually changing into ferocious scaly beings.
City In The Dragon’s Eye is the first book in the new Dragon Reich series, written by the fantastic Jordan Loyal Short and author of The Dreadbound Ode trilogy, Jordan has switched it up and has come out shown that authors who write dark fantasy are not all evil and can write a good fun and hilarious tale bringing out their comedic side, that will leave you laughing your socks off.
You will find yourself flying through the pages, as it is so fast-paced, action-packed, the worldbuilding, and the setting is excellent. The author has created a strange new world to get lost in and plot that just gets more enthralling as the story unfolds.

He is offered a place in sanitarium by a mad doctor in, hoping he will be healed.

I can’t wait for book two. After that ending and cliffhanger, book two can’t come quick enough. If you haven’t checked out Jordan Loyal Shorts books yet, I very highly recommend that you do…😁🔥🐉
