In the Top Rated first of the Dragon Quartet, Polo Shawcross wishes for a new life. The Birthday Dragon brings a ghost who says he's not one, a best friend who thinks he's gay, relations who want him dead, and a very bad reputation. Then he becomes an unwilling party to treason. Nanny Black says he's like the goddess of death with testicles. Despite this, he's considered a fine companion for the heir to the throne. Nobody has noticed the Crown Prince is in love with Polo or that the half-brother with the eating disorder is trying to kill him, and Mother's still in denial over Father's alcoholism. Polo doesn't know where he fits in, but discovers that shapechanging is harder than it looks. Twisted adventure in a vivid new world where genesplicing accidentally creates real magic and Men (or Women) might be Dragon.
