The Conjuring of Zoth-Avarex
“An irreverent and utterly charming dragon tale…Lockhaven impressively controls all of this fun from the very first page…and longtime fantasy readers are sure to enjoy every minute.”

Kept hidden by the United States government for decades, the Site is a place where magic is real. But that doesn’t mean that everything happening there is sparkly. Soul-sucking policies and layers of stifling bureaucracy threaten to take all the fun out of magic.
Harris Reed, a newbie Conjurer, starts his first day of work at the Site bursting with excitement: he’s been brought on for an extremely big project happening the very next day.
Unfortunately, for Harris and the world, the Site triumphs over its habitual inefficiency for once: they are able to conjure an actual, fire-breathing dragon. And this dragon is intent on amassing a hoard of treasure worth sixty-three billion dollars (because Smaug was said to have had sixty-two billion in his hoard) by any means necessary.
