About this ebook
Summoned to the royal palace by the King, Alaith spends his days either handling the dragons that plague the kingdom, or holed up in his lonely tower. Unusual in appearance, manner, and his method of taming dragons rather than slaying them, his only distractions from his painfully outcast state are caring for the tamed dragon who resides with him, and admiring the handsome Lord Trey—and arguing with the infuriating Prince Rythe.

Layneth!
Alaith bellowed, making certain the damned dragon could hear him wherever it was skulking. How many times have I told you not to leave entrails in front of the tower?
He planted his hands on his hips and glared as a guilty-looking dragon with dark purple scales slunk around from behind the tower, where she had no doubt been taking a post-lunch nap by the wood pile. If you don’t want to eat them, fine, but don’t leave them in front here where it makes us look uncivilized and disgusting! Clean it up now!
Growling and looking very put upon, Layneth nevertheless began to clean up the remains of the steer carcass she had earlier eaten.
Make certain you get all of it,
Alaith said for good measure and turned to head back into his tower, but paused when he heard all too familiar laughter coming down the path from the castle proper. Alaith stifled a sigh. If he were lucky, he would at least be able to enjoy staring surreptitiously at Trey while he attempted to avoid murdering or maiming Prince Rythe. He fussed over his hair and clothes in the few seconds he had before they cleared the forest, then turned around to supervise Layneth’s mediocre cleanup efforts so it would not look as though he were waiting for them.
Hail, Mightiest of All Dragonslayers!
Prince Rythe called as he and Lord Trey came from the forest. We have need of your fine services this day.
Ignoring him, Alaith scowled at Layneth and pointed to the stone path that led to his tower home. You missed a bit of intestine, you lazy, good for nothing dragon. Don't you sigh at me, miscreant. Clean that up or all you get the rest of the week is rabbits and vegetables.
After he was satisfied Layneth would clean up properly this time, Alaith turned around and crossed his arms over his chest. He frowned at the two men who drew to a stop before him.
Prince Rythe was the king’s youngest and brattiest son. Smart, but spoiled and obnoxious, he would have been handsome, save for that obnoxiousness he wore like his tailored jackets. His hair was a mess of curls severely restrained and the color of dying embers, a red-orange that faded to the barest hint of dark gold at the tips. He was dressed in hunter green with dark brown and touches of deep gold that offset his
