Arthur Cambry crossed the ocean to hunt a drake. It is the simplest problem he will find there.
The Cambry name has fallen into ruin, and the commission that carried Arthur to a remote mountain province may be the last thing that can pull his family from the brink: one firedrake to kill, one fee to collect, and home before the snow.
But the province runs on old magic and older grudges, and Arthur has walked into the heart of both. Within days, he is bound to a forged betrothal he never sought and marked for a duel he never agreed to. Before long, a fight to the death against the drake begins to feel like a welcome distraction.
To save his name, he must outlast the people who have lived in the mountain's shadow for generations.
Hunting a Drake in Autumn is the first book of the Long Frontier series. For readers of Brian McClellan.
