Welcome to the world of Harmon and Fidelma, Dragon Lord and Dragon Lady, where dragons haven't been seen in hundreds of years. This makes them the target of mockery of many nobles, whose Animals really exist. It's also the world where people get stolen, taken in the night, by bandits arriving in airships. The local Priesthood does what it can, by praying to the gods and sending out expeditions to retrieve the stolen people. Expeditions that never return. The Priests despise Harmon and Fidelma and their fictional, infernal beasts, who in turn despise the religion with equal vigor. Follow the couple from Dragon House, as they work their way through cellars, books and tunnels, in order to find dragons, and perhaps even a way to bring the stolen people back.
