A Dragon Called Blood (The Blood History Book 1) by Charles D. Shell

Corbin, a swashbuckling rogue magician of dubious parentage, and his lifelong friend Blood—a dragon cursed with demonic blood and devilish sarcasm—are far from model citizens in their home country of Denza. Yet, through nepotism, they become ambassadors to sleepy Sunal.

To their shock, Sunal’s people embrace them warmly, offering acceptance, friendship, and even hints of true love. With zero diplomatic experience in a quiet nation, what could go wrong?

Plenty. A warmongering horde invades, aiming to conquer Sunal. Corbin and Blood deem this undiplomatic and inconvenient—just as they were settling in. Despite lacking finesse in politics, they excel in magic, mayhem, and dragonfire. It’s the perfect arsenal to save Sunal and half the continent from ruin.

Who says politics is boring?

Months after averting a magical cataclysm, Corbin, Denza’s new blood mage ambassador and dragon-rider, returns to quiet Sunal with friends, eager for paychecks, drinks, debauchery, and time with his hellfire-breathing dragon, Blood.

But the insular country of Xuvol demands Hana—Ryanna’s precognitive mother and a former citizen—be turned over. War looms; Sunal, still recovering from invasion, can’t ignore them.

Corbin’s plans shatter amid assassins: one faction hunts Blood, another seeks vengeance on Amber, the Gureinian turncoat who foiled her homeland’s attack on Sunal.

Worse, Gurein-Sovill war erupts, creating continental chaos. Then demons invade from the Gray Marches, threatening all humanity.

The junior ambassador starts to regret his career choice.
