I did it! I finished editing A Dragonling’s Family! Before the end of March (barely)! Now I just need to get it to first readers. Blurb:

When Vaiyae’s dying friend, disowned by her family, asked him to raise her offspring, he could not refuse. But he had some misgivings, because Vaiyae is a human/crow-shifter, and his friend—and her unhatched child—are dragons.

Daneah, a new witch in Zendzu-ksto, and her raccoon companion offer Vaiyae their aid, as the difficulties of being a single parent are amplified by his daughter being of a different species. As Vaiyae and Daneah spend more time together, romance stirs between them.

But their fragile family is threatened when the dragonling’s uncle roars into Zendzu-ksto and demands custody of his niece. Can the crow-shifter stop a dragon from taking Vaiyae’s adopted daughter?

And if Vaiyae can—does he have any right to?

This is a polyamorous MFM fantasy romance, with one plot thread being the romance and the other being a custody battle over a baby dragon. Story includes:

Trans man and crow lord/fren protagonist
Crow lord brooding (his adopted egg)
Adorable baby dragon antics
Adorable murder of crows antics
Murder of crows vs dragon! (spoiler: it’s fine, the crows are fine, nobody panic)
Hard-of-hearing sign-language-using witch and her animal companion/interpreter
Dragon shapeshifter who can’t be arsed to shift into non-winged forms properly because why would you want a body that doesn’t have wings?
Both friends to lovers and enemies to lovers because polyamory means not having to choose tropes either
Bisexual protagonists because what is monosexuality? we just don’t know
