Treasure of the American Dragon
Wilder Blackwood is a reluctant wizard just trying to get by in the real world.
When a trio of eccentric, aging wizards drag Wilder into a world of legendary creatures, ancient relics, and an invasion that could destroy the world (no pressure), he has no choice but to team up with his one and only his grumpy dog, Bocephus. Oh, and did we mention that Bo is secretly a centuries-old dragon in disguise?
Now, with an enemy older than recorded history threatening his city, Wilder’s forced to juggle long-lost spells, an ancient dragon with a temper, and a world that has no idea magic even exists. It’s chaos, and he’s the one stuck in the middle.
Magic. Mayhem. And one very reluctant wizard.
If The Dresden Files and How to Train Your Dragon had a love child, it would be Treasure of the American Dragon—a fast-paced, snarky, and magical adventure that proves even the most unwilling hero can save the world… eventually.

Please don’t take the length of time it took me to finish this as a sign of not enjoying it. Life got a bit crazy, as it tends to do.
I enjoy Jon’s writing. He has a way of telling a story that draws you in and keeps you. This was no exception. Humor mixed with a fantastical story about dragons and wizards, taking place in my home state did not disappoint and I look forward to the next book!

This book is amazing!
The originality of the story is perfect; one I've never even thought of before.
I love the relationship between Wilder and Bocephus. The banter and snide comments.
His job and the people he meets, the conversations he has, the magic he learns about from the elders... His love interest.
And the dragons! You have to love a book about dragons, especially in modern times, in familiar places. And especially when the talk.
Cannot wait for the second installment!
