Publisher Description
When dragons rise from the earth, firefighters are humanity’s last line of defence, in this wild near-future fantasy.
Firefighter Cole Brannigan is on the verge of retirement after 30 years on the job, and a decade fighting dragons. But during his final fire call, he discovers he’s immune to dragon smoke. It’s such a rare power that he’s immediately conscripted into the elite dragon-fighting force known as the Smoke Eaters. Retirement cancelled, Brannigan is re-assigned as a lowly rookie, chafing under his superiors. So when he discovers a plot to take over the city’s government, he takes matters into his own hands. With hundreds of innocent civilians in the crosshairs, it’s up to Brannigan and his fellow Smoke Eaters to repel the dragon menace.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
High-octane action pairs beautifully with an unusual take on the dragon mythos in this futuristic urban fantasy set in Ohio, where dragons star as the ultimate expression of all things primal. Capt. Cole Brannigan is a career firefighter mere days from retirement when he's tapped to join an elite first responder group known as the Smoke Eaters. The team members have magical abilities that they use on the front lines against the extreme destructive forces of the newly emerged dragons. For the first time in many years he's a rookie, working with those half his age. As he navigates his new calling, he has to find a way to cope in a world that's becoming increasingly hostile toward first responders. Grigsby (Eternal H) marries his real-world firefighting experience with a depth of emotion that brings with it a strong authenticity. This is an exciting story that breathes new life into the urban fantasy genre.)
