* Title: The Entangled Dragon * Author(s) name(s): D.S. LaLonde D.S. LaLonde * ISBN (or ASIN): 979-8218138295 * Publisher: DS LaLonde * Publication date: 14 January 2023 * Format: Paperback and eBook * Page count: 336 * Description: Rick is plodding along through an uneventful life, just a regular family guy working at a coffee shop. His life will be irrevocably changed when a stranger spots his most unexpected potential and offers him the chance to become something more. Soon, Rick discovers that the world is not as it seems. Demons walk among us. Actually, they don’t walk, they ride, carried along in the bodies and souls of otherwise ordinary people. Such people are categorized as either fiends or paragons. Fiends are classically possessed, their souls entangled with a sentient demon, whereas paragons are conduits for simpler demonic energy that crafts them into idealized humans. These fiends and paragons are powerful entities, incredibly hardy, with abilities far beyond those of mortals. A secretive industry with an unusual business model has spawned from this strange phenomenon. Security companies leverage these special people and their diabolical soulmates, harnessing their powers to keep the public safe from all manner of evil. This dark reality is thrust upon Rick when he becomes entangled with a demonic dragon, a fearsome beast of immense appetites and ill intents. As he acclimates to this new monstrous normal, he is put on a team working to track and defeat a group of rampaging vigilante paragons. While Rick and his family enjoy the financial benefits of his mysterious new career, they quickly realize that all is not well. The dragon may be more than Rick’s mild persona can handle. He is quickly becoming a passive bystander in his own mind as the dragon takes control and seeks to fulfill its own agenda, one of death, destruction, and hoarding treasure. Rick’s grip on humanity is slipping. Maintaining the straight and narrow path in the company of demons, especially those that reside within you, can be a torturous task.
