First, he was a gargoyle. Then, a dragon. Then, not a "he" at all. Everyone in town wants something from Gus, but you just want xer to stop eating your shoelaces and cheese puffs.

Welcome to the cozy-yet-chaotic household of Brant and Nico, where raising the world's only (known) dragon isn't just about putting out furniture fires and claw-proofing the cabinets. Six months ago, they rescued what they thought was a baby gargoyle. Little did they know that their lives were about to take an unexpected turn into the limelight.

As Gustopher grows, so do xer's powers - invisibility, anyone? -- leaving Brant and Nico grappling with a creature who throws tantrums and can project thousand-year-old dream visions. But their struggles aren't confined to the domestic sphere - outside pressures mount as everyone clamors for a piece of the action. From vampires and werewolves to pixies and politicians, a colorful cast of characters descends upon their doorstep, each with their own agenda. But when the magical tribunal show up demanding to take charge of Gus's care, the real surprises begin.

Amidst the frenzy, two questions loom large: What are Gus's rights, and how will this impact Multnomah? In this queer adventure, illusions are shattered at every turn, revealing that nothing is quite what it seems. Especially not Gus.
