Surprise!

When I chose the name of my publishing company – ‘Fickle Dragon Publishing’ it was because of days like today. I’m just too much of a wild-card to be constrained to one particular genre. Drakon Prince is a great example of some of the ideas rolling around in my head.

For many, concepts like gamelit or litrpg are new. In fact, the genre is so new that Amazon makes no home for it in their categories, even though it is regularly ranked in the top 100 books . I imagine they’ll eventually catch up.

What are gamelit and litrpg? 

If you’ve played any role-playing-games, that’s where the rpg in litrpg comes from. This genre a fusion between those games and epic fantasy literature. Often times, the main character experiences a shift where they see virtual game details. The reader is therefore presented with statistics about how that character is progressing with attributes and different types of data. 

In Drakon Prince, our main character, TK, is almost 20 years old before he discovers that he’s a dragon, albeit a very poorly trained dragon. Upon accepting his fate as such, he finds that to survive, he needs to quickly level-up and become more powerful. 

I work hard to keep the majority of the statistics out of the way of the story. But it’s fair warning to know that in this genre, that’s an expected part of the story.

What I hope people take from Drakon Prince is that it’s a story of a young man coming into his own. Upon discovering that the world is bigger and scarier than he once believed, he finds that with the help of his friends he can succeed, even when hunted by powerful new enemies.

I hope you’ll give Drakon Prince a try and I’d love your feedback once you do.
