The Griffen McCandles series is an urban fantasy about a young man named Griffen McCandles who discovers that he is a dragon shapeshifter. Set in New Orleans, the books follow Griffen as he navigates the hidden world of dragons living among humans, dealing with power struggles, rival factions, and the everyday chaos of life in the French Quarter.
Robert Asprin created the series and wrote the first two books, Dragons Wild (2008) and Dragons Luck (2009). After Asprin’s death in 2008, Jody Lynn Nye stepped in to continue the story. She had collaborated with Asprin on many previous projects, including the Myth Adventures series, which made her a natural choice to carry on his work. Nye wrote Dragons Deal (2010) and Robert Asprin’s Dragons Run (2013), keeping the series’ playful tone intact while moving Griffen’s story forward.
The books are light, fast reads with a strong sense of place. Asprin’s New Orleans feels lived-in, and Nye maintains that atmosphere in her entries. Fans of Asprin’s other comedic fantasy work will feel right at home here.
