The Dragon Tamer's Padded Cell

Vaskar of the Qal'Tir Peaks was the most cold and calculating beast-tamer in history, commanding legions of ancient dragons with an iron fist. Now, he is trapped in the body of a modern psychiatric patient at the Oakhaven Institute. Unfazed, Vaskar begins rebuilding his empire from his padded cell, utilizing the only 'lesser wyrms' available: the courtyard pigeons. The doctors merely note his intense, daily negotiations with birds as a persistent coping mechanism. The delusion diagnosis seems solid until a strange, wax-sealed letter is accidentally delivered to his ward, detailing a supernatural curse eating away at local billionaire Magnus Croft. Sensing a strategic advantage, Vaskar deploys his avian spies to uncover the truth. He soon clashes with Royston Galt, a modern exorcist who mistakes Vaskar for a dark sorcerer. As Vaskar discovers that the curse was cast by a desperate rogue druid trying to protect the city's last magical leyline from Croft's construction, he must orchestrate a cold, calculated truce. Will the Sovereign of Scales manage to save the dying magic of this concrete jungle, or will his doctors finally up his medication?
