I'M AFRAID YOU'VE GOT DRAGONS

I'M AFRAID YOU'VE GOT DRAGONS by Peter S. Beagle

I wrote in a post a few days ago that I bought 2 books based on their covers. This was the second one. I'll share a picture of the end pages in the comments. I could not pass this one up! I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons is a mix between a Fairy Tale (complete with a princess, princes, dragons, wizard, and castles) and How to Train Your Dragon.

Robert is a dragon exterminator. He didn't pick the trade. He inherited it when his father passed away. The only problem? He hates killing dragons. In fact, he would rather keep them as pets. When the castle is overcome with them, and the princess wants them out to impress her newest possible suitor, Robert is called upon to do the job. In fact, he is so good at his job when the prince decides it's time to slay a dragon and become the man his father wants him to be, Robert is called on to lead the hunt. What unfolds is an epic journey that brings old wrongs into the light, explores the age old question about the class system, and determines what makes a true hero.

HEADS UP- There is magic in this book. The book begins with 3 "Wise Women" who can tell that something bad is coming. They stand outside and chant, pray, and recite incantations. None of their words are given. Also, their words don't work. They're powerless.

The book also has a wizard in it.

There are approx. 8-10 profanities. Mainly d*** and 1 s***.
