Dragon Blood begins with a single kiss—and the brutal expulsion that follows.

Two teenage boys discover their sexuality, but that discovery sends them down very different paths. Self-discovery, jealousy, shame, and desire become dangerous when predators are waiting in the shadows.

This novel explores assault, trauma, trafficking, exploitation, and betrayal by the very institutions meant to protect the vulnerable.

Though Dragon Blood is a work of fiction, parts of its story are rooted in things that have happened in the real world.
