Death Before Dragons is an urban fantasy series by Lindsay Buroker set in modern-day Seattle, where supernatural beings from other realms hide among ordinary people. The series follows Val Thorvald, a freelance assassin with magical abilities who specializes in taking down dangerous paranormals.
Val’s life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Zavryd, a dragon shifter and judge from the cosmic realms who enforces Dragon Justice. Forced to work together, the snarky and independent Val must team up with the haughty dragon to track down paranormal fugitives who are wreaking havoc in Seattle.
As the series progresses, Val discovers she has connections to magical lineages she never knew about, while her partnership with Zav evolves from mutual annoyance to grudging respect and eventually deeper feelings. The novels balance action-packed urban fantasy with humor and romantic tension, all set against the backdrop of a Seattle where supernatural threats lurk in shadows and alleys.
The series is connected to Buroker’s Legacy of Magic and Tracking Trouble series, all set in the same broader world.
