Marauders of the Lost Dragon City

A fantasy adventure romance novella for those who like 'The Mummy' and love dragons. Expect swashbuckling adventure, a knife-wielding black cat of a heroine, and a cinnamon roll scholar hero. 

The untouched ruins of a dragon city have been discovered, and riches await. Two teams seek to be the first inside: an archaeological team from the university, and a band of thieves and marauders.

Alain, a scholar of draconic studies, loves exploring the cities of the supposedly extinct dragons. Expeditions like this are worth the embarrassment of being looked down upon by his colleagues for his bucolic background.

Chantal, who once dreamed of being a researcher, needs to find artefacts for the black market so she can support her financially troubled parents. Her colleagues are the worst, but she puts up with it for the cause.

When both teams arrive in the city and make a discovery that changes everything, Alain and Chantal wonder if they should stick with their respective colleagues, or work together and reach for something different. Something more.
