Los Angeles is a tough town.
It’s literally about who eats whom.

Sam, Daniel’s adopted son, is lost—consumed by the great Pacific firedrake. But Sam is still alive and aware, in magical form, trapped inside the dragon—and Daniel has a plan to rescue him.
Daniel will have to go to the kingdom of
Northern California, posing as his half-brother. Only in the Northern Hierarch’s throne room will Daniel have an opportunity to steal the axis mundi—under the gaze of the Hierarch herself.
