Gabriel's City: A Tale of Fables and Fortunes

For spoiled young aristocrat Colin Harwood, the port city of Casmile is a buffet of easy pleasures. But when he steps into a pub brawl to help a dangerously outnumbered young man, he is drawn into the seedy underbelly of the city the young man calls home. Gabriel is a cutpurse and a knife for hire, practically an urban legend. His vision of Casmile is touched by a strange combination of faith and madness, driven by fairytale logic and a capacity for love that he often must suppress to survive.
He's always worked alone, but when a dashing dragon who calls himself Colin saves him in a bar fight, he pulls Colin into his world. Gabriel's city is nothing like the refined, socialite existence that bored Colin senseless. Colin finds adventure and excitement there-and maybe even love. But with his layers of finery stripped away, nothing remains to protect him from poverty or danger-except Gabriel.
So he must choose: go back to the civilized young man he once was, or fly free as Gabriel's dragon.
