It follows the plight of a young man named Will Le Fey after a crippled dragon takes up residence in his town and inside his mind.

Like The Iron Dragon's Daughter, the novel subverts fantasy tropes while it explores the extremely dark and gritty world of Faerie.

The Dragons of Babel was nominated for the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel in 2009.

But, the dragon’s arrival sets Will on a life-changing adventure where he will encounter danger, deceit, and a truth that was conceived with his birth.

There, Will rises as underground politician, and finds his one true love, a high elven woman to whom he dare not aspire.
