The Dragon Wasn't Supposed to Be There

Crimson Valor is a name known across the kingdoms—sung in ballads, etched in stone, and whispered with reverence.

Unfortunately, this isn't that Crimson Valor.

This is the story of a very different group of adventurers. A mage whose spells never quite work. A rogue who can't sneak, steal, or lie without tripping over something. A cleric who blesses the wrong things (often by accident). A barbarian who drinks more than she rages. A bard with a talent for bad lyrics and worse timing. And a ranger who may or may not still be lost in the woods.

They were never meant to be heroes. They were barely meant to survive. But fate—or a bureaucratic mix-up—hands them a legendary name, a dragon-sized misunderstanding, and a chance at glory they have no business claiming.

When a golden dragon egg becomes the prize and an actual dragon becomes the problem, the misfits set off on a "sure thing" quest that quickly spirals into fiery chaos, mistaken identity, and a lot of yelling. They're not ready. They're not equipped. They're not even qualified to work in retail.

But they are the only ones left standing.

A comedy of errors wrapped in chainmail and soaked in ale, The Dragon Wasn't Supposed to Be There is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud fantasy adventure for fans of Terry Pratchett, The Legend of Vox Machina, and anyone who's ever critically failed at life—and kept going anyway.
