Summary

Back in the day, dragons used to rule the Earth and Lord Highfire ruled the dragons from his eyrie. However, a lot has changed a lot since then. Now all Lord Highfire rules is his shack in Louisiana’s Honey Island Swamp. Highfire is now known as ‘Vern’ and, by day, he hides out among the alligators, watches cable-TV and drinks obscene amounts of vodka to pass the time. {Flashdance} is one of his favorite movies. It isn’t much of a life but he’s alive to live it, and Vern is prepared do whatever it takes, even if its violent, to preserve his own hide. When Vern’s world collides with a human teen named Squib, who becomes mixed up in some trouble while running booze for the local mob, their mutual struggle for survival becomes entangled in the most unlikely of friendships.
