Arthur cooks his way from slavery to trust and independence.
Arthur once stood at the pinnacle of global gastronomy; now he scrubs pots as the lowest human slave in the dragon royal palace, written off as good as dead. His salvation arrives in an impossible form: he alone hears the unspoken thoughts of the young dragons. Translating those silent cravings into precise, exquisite dishes, he begins satisfying hungers the court never knew existed. Each successful plate earns him coin, chips away at his bonds, and inches him toward the trust of the royal family itself.
