Feral, a retired war hero with ancient bones and thinning scales, has been living in a dragon retirement home for several centuries. There, his daily routine is always the same: wake up with creaky joints, force down the stale protein bars from Bites of Knights, avoid the caterwauling old females on the shuffleboard court, and then return to bed to dream of flying.
But when a tiny stray human shows up at his front boulder, Feral’s ho-hum world is turned upside down. Once a tentative agreement not to eat this strange little ‘morsel’ is forged, the two of them embark on a journey for applesauce that ends with each of them saving the other’s life – in more ways than one.
THE LITTLE MORSEL is a warm, lighthearted adventure that shines a delicate light on loneliness, neglect, found family, and purpose. Multifaceted and relatable, it is a story that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

The Little Morsel
I am really impressed with this fresh approach to draconic personality and especially the treatment of elderly, disabled dragons within a draconic community! I never would have considered elderly or disabled dragons doing anything other than going off alone to die. I was also pleasantly surprised by the plot twist in the human village. The authors have excellent imaginations, and wonderful skill in sharing it, for sure! I love it, and I love both Feral and Morsel! I hope to read more about them at some point!
