Linden Rathan is a weredragon; the last one whose birth was
sensed by the other weredragons or dragons.
This makes him the “Little One” even though he’s over six foot six tall
and towers over everyone else at Dragonkeep.
The weredragons are called Dragonlords and they serve the local
countries as neutral arbitrators and judges.
The queen of one of the local countries dies at the beginning the story
and Linden is chosen as one of the three judges to go and sort out the regency
debate. Naturally, there is an evil
wizard, plots to secure the regency, plots to destroy the Dragonlords, a love
interest, a bard, and a couple of distractions.
Most of the setting is generic fantasy. The weredragons are the interesting twist in
the setting, and the story doesn’t get bogged down describing what they can and
can’t do in any detail.
Despite being somewhat generic it is an enjoyable read, provided
you can keep the four or five factions more or less straight.
