Overview
A USA TODAY Bestseller From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Unicorn comes a ""gorgeous and vibrant and wistfully fantastic"" (Travis Baldree, New York Times bestselling author of Legends and Lattes) new novel in which a loveable cast of characters trapped within their roles of dragon hunter, princess, and more must come together to take their fates into their own hands. Dragons are common in the backwater kingdom of Bellemontagne, coming in sizes from mouse-like vermin all the way up to castle-smashing monsters. Gaius Aurelius Constantine Heliogabalus Thrax (who would much rather people call him Robert) has recently inherited his deceased dad's dead job as a dragon catcher/exterminator, a career he detests with all his heart in part because he likes dragons, feeling a kinship with them, but mainly because his dream has always been the impossible one of transcending his humble origin to someday become a prince's valet. Needless to say, fate has something rather different in mind...

Reviews
""A moving tale from a fantasy master.""-- ""--Reactor Mag"" ""Beagle's cozy novel embraces over-the-top fantasy tropes, and the effect is a tale that's as hilarious as it is endearing. Evocative of Terry Pratchett, the writing grows beyond its charming aesthetic to deliver a deceptively serious narrative.""-- ""--Library Journal"" ""Bringing to mind both Neil Gaiman's Stardust and Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, ...a reluctant dragon hunter escorts a prince on a dragon-slaying hunt through the kingdom of Bellemontagne as the prelude to a betrothal between kingdoms.""-- ""--LitHub"" ""Equal parts Monty Python and Dragonheart? The Smaug section of The Hobbit? Let's just say Beagle's I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons is its own creature entirely, much like every dragon I've ever met.""-- ""--Parade"" ""Peter Beagle is an icon in the world of fantasy fiction ... charming characters and cozy high fantasy vibes are worth the wait.""-- ""--Paste Magazine"" ""Peter S Beagle is, as ever, a master. Like the dragons and dreams therein - gorgeous and vibrant and wistfully fantastic - he never neglects the sharp teeth that confirm a tale as absolutely real.""----Travis Baldree, New York Times bestselling author of Legends and Lattes
