Fresh from graduation, Riley Hale is thrust into a position he never wanted—aide to Kael Dravaryn, the Dragon Lord of the continent. Renowned for his devastating elegance, unpredictable temperament, and unmatched power, Kael is the kind of boss most ambitious professionals dream of serving. Riley is not most professionals. His position comes with unexpected hazards: dodging fireballs, untangling robes more complex than ancient magic, and doubling as a practice target during intense sparring sessions. None of this appeared in any job description. Resigned to his fate, Riley counts down the days until he can finally resign. But escaping a dragon's employment isn't straightforward, especially one blessed with elemental mastery and influence that rivals entire militaries. As Riley navigates cutthroat court politics, encounters with wyvern threats, and a series of workplace incidents (most definitely not his fault), something shifts. The arrogance and molten fury that once infuriated him reveal unexpected complexity. Maybe his boss isn't quite what Riley initially believed. Maybe, against all odds, Kael Dravaryn actually cares if Riley Hale lives or dies.
