Once upon a time, a dragon ate a man. Then she opened a restaurant.
In the kingdom of Tara, dragons make soup, fairy godmothers get things disastrously wrong, and royal bargains are struck with terrifying consequences. When curses, sleeping spells, and long-nursed faery grudges collide one extremely irritated faery godmother is left to tell the tale. Viridia - faery, villain, and unreliable narrator - now operating from modern-day Sydney and telling the story exactly the way she wants. Dark, funny, and gleefully wrong-footed, The Dragon's Restaurant is a fairy tale for readers who like their magic sharp and their morals optional.
More Ankh Morpork than Narnia. Think Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End with faery godmothers.
Told with wit, warmth, and a sharp bite, The Dragon's Restaurant is a fractured fairy tale full of mistaken identities, dubious bargains, and the lingering consequences of magical revenge.
Not all monsters breathe fire. Some tell the story.
Bad magic. Worse bargains. Happily ever after was never on the menu.
