Underworld Market

A silver winter dragon protects a family from an attack by the mafia, at the cost of his customers’ death. He is now stuck with them and escorts them to a transport ship to help them get off world.

His troubles don’t end there. He crosses paths with the gang leader, Caim, and she gives him an ultimatum: help her dethrone her assistant—who is completely out of her mind, or that family dies. She knows where they’re going and going off world won’t help them. He has no choice but to accept (and now he can’t wait to buy his own little island far away from everyone).
