About this ebook
Bob Ironspell-Cabas, known as Ironspell, is a rookie officer on his third day in the Denver Police Department Supernatural Unit or DPDS. His partner and mentor takes him to the Denver Zoo, thinking that it'll be a good training opportunity. Instead, they discover a deranged sorcerer has let loose a dragon from the Supernatural portion of a new exhibit called, "The Magical Zoo."
With a crazied sorcerer and a pissed-off dragon on the loose, Ironspell must use his knowledge and his magic to stop both. Otherwise, Denver is in for some serious trouble. What's more, sorcerer has taken hostages and threatens to feed them to the werewolves in the Lycanthrope House.
The problem is Ironspell isn't exactly a wizard -- he learns his spells by reading magazines like Popular Wizardry. Can Denver and the Denver Zoo survive Ironspell's attempts to save the day?

Chapter One
Ironspell, watch out! That dragon is behind us!
My partner and mentor, Officer George Talon of the Denver Police Department Supernatural Unit (DPDS), grabbed my arm and shoved me toward the Denver Zoo’s elephant house. Presumably to get us behind something—anything—before the dragon could take a potshot at us with his breath.
Yeah, I’m talking a real, live firedrake and not one of those cheap, knock-off versions that have flooded the market in recent years. Sure, the knock-off dragons are pretty impressive, as dragons go, but you can always tell they’re cheap because they only have three or four claws instead of the traditional five on their feet. Some even have only two or one claws. I mean, how impressive is a dragon with just one claw per foot? The poor things can barely stand, and even Denver Animal Control won’t take them anymore because they have too many to put down already.
Where was I? Firedrakes—right. The dragon soared above us as people screamed and ran in terror towards the exits. Trust me when I say a handful of cops and park security is no match for hordes of frightened mothers pushing baby carriages with their progeny and making for the nearest exit. All this on account of a mad sorcerer and a rampant dragon.
The loudspeakers blared throughout the zoo giving directions on how to evacuate in an orderly fashion—only no one was listening. Talon had chosen the Denver Zoo as a rookie training spot because other than petty theft and the occasional assault, not a lot really happens there except the occasional lost urchin. Seeing I was the rookie, I went along with the choice and figured we’d get some Dippin Dots Ice Cream and watch the animals. The zoo had just opened up a new supernatural exhibition house, which included the said dragon, which was now chasing us.
The dragon screamed and shot a stream of fire at us as we barely made it to the pachyderm house. It overcooked the sidewalk to a bubbling goo and set the grass on fire, but narrowly missed us. Some of the flames made it to the wall we sought shelter by, but just scorched it slightly.
My name is Bob Ironspell-Cabas and I’m a magic user and rookie cop just out of the Academy. I tried to get into the Denver Wizard Task Force (DWTF), but I didn’t have enough cred or formal training, apparently. So, I took the next best thing and that was DPDS. It meant I could use some spells
