The Dragon Spotter

By Kainalu Aku

Eligio Arino has finally found the perfect government job.

Dragon Spotter of Davaar comes with a respectable title, an official house, a reliable salary, and one enormous advantage:

Davaar has not seen a dragon in thirty-one years.

Eligio is underqualified. He is also reasonably certain that will never matter.

Then one arrives.

Suddenly the obsolete Dragon Office is expected to work. Roads close. Cattle move. Soldiers wait. Officials assume Eligio's title means expertise he does not have, while old rules were written for disasters nobody alive remembers.

Worse, the dragon is starving, intelligent, and not behaving like the monster everyone prepared for.

Eligio's real talent has never been heroics. It is knowing when someone else knows more. Clerks, hunters, engineers, sailors, and eventually the dragon itself become part of a response where every new fact changes the problem and the wrong confident answer can get people killed.

The job was supposed to be about spotting dragons from a tower.

Now Eligio has to figure out what is actually true before everyone else turns fear into catastrophe.

For thirty-one years, the job was pointless. Then a dragon made it indispensable.

The Dragon Spotter is Book 1 of the Dragon Spotter series. Eligio Arino's story continues in The Dragon Slayer.
