The Shard-Rider's Rebellion

By Debbie Nicosia

Rho Kett didn't set out to unionize the dragons. He just wanted a job that didn't involve accidental explosions, sentient paperwork, or unpaid overtime.

But when he forms a magical bond with Tazwyn-a sarcastic, fire-breathing shard-dragon-Rho finds himself in the middle of a bureaucratic rebellion against the crumbling Empire. With the help of a disgruntled labor leader, a goat with a knife, and a filing cabinet full of cursed regulations, Rho rewrites the rules of magic, one footnote at a time.

As the Empire weaponizes shard energy and tries to literally digest dragons for power, Rho and Taz fight back not with swords, but with sabotage, technicalities, and weaponized paperwork. Together, they'll take down tax departments, outwit enchanted compliance forms, and accidentally start a revolution.

A satirical fantasy full of wit, rebellion, and magical labor law, The Shard-Rider's Handbook is a sharply funny adventure for fans of Terry Pratchett, T. Kingfisher, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
