'A joyous fantasy for grownups' Guardian 'A funny, offbeat adult
fantasy novel' Independent 'A dazzling first adult novel from
bestselling children's author Colfer' Daily Mail Highfire is a
genre-bending tour-de-force of comedy and action by the
million-copy-selling master storyteller. Squib Moreau may be
swamp-wild, but his intentions are (generally) good: he really
wants to be a supportive son to his hard-working momma Elodie. But
sometimes life gets in the way - like when Fake Daddy walked out on
them leaving a ton of debt, or when crooked Constable Regence Hooke
got to thinking pretty Elodie Moreau was just the gal for him . . .
An apprenticeship with the local moonshine runner, servicing the
bayou, looks like the only way to pay off the family debts and
maybe get Squib and his momma a place in town, far from Constable
Hooke's unwanted courtship and Fake Daddy's reputation.
Unfortunately for Squib, Hooke has his own eye on that very same
stretch of bayou - and neither of them have taken into account the
fire-breathing dragon hiding out in the Louisiana swamp . . . For
Squib Moreau, Regence Hooke and Vern, aka Lord Highfire of Highfire
Eyrie, life is never going to be the same again. 'Told in crunchy
prose, with lashings of earthy dialogue, it reads like an Elmore
Leonard Thriller, but with dragons . . . Colfer clearly had a blast
writing this, and his sheer storytelling panache brushes aside the
quibbles of fantasy-genre agnostics with infectious glee' Mail on
Sunday From the internationally bestselling author of the Artemis
Fowl series: Eoin Colfer's first adult fantasy novel is a
hilarious, high-octane adventure about a vodka-drinking,
Flashdance-loving dragon who's been hiding out from the world - and
potential torch-carrying mobs - in a Louisiana bayou . . . until
his peaceful world's turned upside down by a well-intentioned but
wild Cajun tearaway and the crooked (and heavily armed) law officer
who wants him dead.
