There's just one problem.Someone stole it.Caught between two ruthless yakuza clans who want to clone the dragon, Jack and Kamala brave the dangerous streets of Tokyo to steal their dragon back in a race against time before the world is taken over by mutated, bloodthirsty monsters that will raze it to ashes.It is the first novel in the series, followed by Of Blood and Ashes, Of Dawn and Embers, and Of Fury and Fangs.

Therapy Is for the Weak: Averted with Jack and Kamala, but played straight with Faye. No surprise, though—Faye is extremely defensive and doesn’t like discussing her true feelings.

The Rich Want to Be Richer: The Apophis Society’s main goal is to have the single largest foothold on all illegal dragon activity worldwide, as it will increase their financial holdings to a ridiculous degree. It is also not subject to taxes, laws, or any regulations, being illegal.

No Accounting for Taste: Stella and Winston's relationship seems this way to Faye, given how Stella is borderline Ax-Crazy and vengeful as hell and Winston is a complete sociopath who has killed probably well over a hundred people. Winston insists the marriage was great, as was the sex.

If I Wanted You Dead...
 Of Cinder and Bone / int_14d633ed
comment
If I Wanted You Dead...: Winston says it verbatim to Faye, though Faye has gleaned from his actions that he's actually bluffing. He is certainly ruthless and terrifying, but his soft spot for her is clear. By the end, Winston reveals her suspicions were right—he doesn't want her dead, he wants a Worthy Opponent. Unfortunately, this is the case with Okegawa. Upon his return, he informs Kamala he won't simply kill her, but slowly and painfully torture her and her family until he's satisfied. If he wanted to kill her and everyone, he'd have done it when he snuck into her hospital room.

Dressing as the Enemy: The Knight Division gets a good tip about the illegal auction for a huma dragon—the only one ever successfully cloned in the entire world—so Shannon sends Kamala into the auction undercover as a woman wearing a niqab (the head-to-toe black covering that Muslim women wear) since she is about the same height and weight as the woman she's impersonating.

Artificial Limbs: Okegawa’s arm was blown off by a grenade Fujioka knocked out of his hand, so his arm is bionic. It’s mentioned to be extremely high functioning and top of the line, capable of even overpowering his opponents better than his regular arm could have. Ed Calloway, Bruce and Libby’s father, also makes an appearance and he has a prosthetic arm.

Yubitsume
 Of Cinder and Bone / int_204fb326
comment
Yubitsume: Okegawa mentions that one more act of disobedience may land him in enough trouble to require this. For those who don't know, yubitsume is a form of punishment where if a yakuza member messes up badly enough, part or all of their finger or fingers are sliced off. Okegawa also wryly points out that he lost his arm while serving his clan, so he really has already paid for his mistakes in blood.

comment
Not the Intended Use: Jack and Kamala's project goal was to clone harmless dragons, study them, and potentially release them into the wild to help balance out certain ecosystems. Naturally, what does the opposition do? Steal it and try to clone it themselves so they can go right back to hunting dragons for profit, following the precedent set by history.

Heroic Dog: Jack and Kamala's German shepherd, aptly named Brunhilde, is a former police dog. She keeps watch over Naila when they're at home, but jumps right into the action on the Jackson farm when a swamp dragon attacks Jack and Kamala. Jack's family dog, D'artagnan, gets a moment to shine when a Highlander dragon attacks Richard.

Dragons Are Demonic: In history, they have been villified for preying on children and livestock when they were living outside of heavily populated areas. Baba Yaga is by far the most villified dragon of the species, as she is the dragon equivalent of a T-Rex and is capable of destruction on an epic scale. However, it's Deconstructed to show that her erratic, seemingly evil behavior stems from having an underdeveloped brain that causes mood swings. She's just an animal.

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Christos is perfectly aware of Okegawa’s violent tendencies and of his dragon, Shikei, who is second only to Baba Yaga in terms of power and size, yet he still goes through with carving the word no into his stomach. He later regrets it. Beowulf is so used to getting away with everything, being rich and famous and having zero accountability or responsibilities, that he gets himself in trouble with Okegawa rather quickly despite their alliance.

Even Evil Has Standards: Winston and Stella both insist that one of the only common things for hitmen is keeping their word. However, it is shown that Stella has some traits that have gotten her into trouble for not sharing standards with other hitters, as she’s an “ex-guild� member.

Bioweapon Beast: It was hinted at, but finally shows up as of this book—Okegawa and Yagami had been working on crossbreeding different kinds of dragons. They end up with spliced dragons that Okegawa uses to test the Knight Division's fortitude. There is a urso/Appalachian forest dragon mix, an Egyptian/Australian dragon mix, and a mimic/Highlander dragon mix. All of them were cloned specifically for being as deadly as possible to anyone who comes across them, which the Knight Division does due to a trap that Okegawa sets.

Five-Second Foreshadowing: In-universe, during the siren wyvern hunt, Beowulf notices the wyvern creeping up on Charlie—right after they’ve been arguing about how to take it down since their other two teammates are down for the count—and pulls this on him instead of properly warning him that he was about to be attacked. Beowulf wants the glory for catching it by himself, so he willingly lets the wyvern get the jump on Charlie so he can fight alone.

With that twenty-five-million-dollar bounty, Winston had enough money and resources to get some alone time with Okegawa in his cell and…that’s all she wrote.

Surprisingly Normal Backstory: Kamala, most notably. Though her father is stubborn and hardheaded, she grew up in a completely normal, loving household and has no signs of trauma whatsoever. Her only gripe is that her parents groomed her for being a doctor from birth, so she ended up rebelling when she realized her life would hold no surprises if she stayed passive.

Would Hurt a Child: Jack got in a fist fight with Zeke when he was a teenager and it tells you all you need to know about Zeke. Winston cites one of the reasons he can't take Stella back even though he loves her is that she accepted the contract on the pregnant Kamala in the previous novel. It's a line he feels shouldn't be crossed.

Big Good: Granted, the way they began isn't very benevolent—the US government basically stormed into MIT and forced Jack and Kamala to stop their research project and stole their dragons away to study them—but ultimately, this is what the Knight Division is against what's later known as the Apophis Society. They deploy dragon retrievers when there are reports of marauding dragons and safely (and humanely) capture them. The dragons are then taken back to headquarters, examined, and then studied to determine if they can be returned to the wild somewhere that they won't encroach on a human population or they are kept and trained to be used for the team.

Do Not Do This Cool Thing: In-universe. The point of the Wild Hunt is to establish that no unauthorized dragon hunting is allowed in the US. And they televise the captures like it’s a reality show, thereby showcasing to millions of people how dang cool it is to catch dragons. To be fair, this is what Jack and Kamala were originally trying to prevent, but it’s out of their hands.

Flash Freezing Coolant: The team is equipped with what are basically called cold guns. They spray an extremely cold foam that then instantly hardens when it makes contact with any surface. This is chosen since nothing under a .50 cal can hurt Baba Yaga and she slows down once cold, so spraying her with the coolant is the only way to stop her rampage without killing her. The guns also resurface in Book 5 for their capture of the diablo dragon.

Our Hydras Are Different
 Of Cinder and Bone / int_57a8305d
comment
Our Hydras Are Different: The hydra dragon was given its nickname due to it being a sulfur dragon born with polycephaly, or a rare condition where an animal or human being has two heads. Both of the heads are fully functional and both unfortunately breathe fire, which is how it’s racked up several kills in Yellowstone National Park before the authorities manage to shut down that section of the park.

Scientist vs. Soldier: Jack and Kamala vs. Fry. Jack and Kamala want to try to find Baba Yaga alive as it's not her fault she was cloned out of extinction and feel she deserves to live, however difficult it will be to keep her contained. Fry is the opposite and has no objections to killing her outright if he gets the chance. Both have a solid argument and neither is presented as more right than the other considering the circumstances.

 Of Cinder and Bone / int_5bdf025f

Instant Sedation: Averted with the first dragon captured in the book, the Natron dragon. Jack notes that every dragon is a different size and has a different metabolism, so usually they’re ball-parking the proper amount when they use the tranquilizer guns. It doesn’t always work right away, which is also later shown with the Quetzalcoatl dragon. Played straight with the scavenger dragon, but since it’s a much smaller size, the dosage was more effective.

Monstrous Cannibalism: The storm dragon is eating chum, but then a Mako shark shows up. There is a brief scuffle and the storm dragon makes use of tonic immobility, then proceeds to start eating the shark instead of the chum. However, all the chum and the blood attract two more sharks, who eat what the storm dragon doesn’t finish of the Mako.

Bond Villain Stupidity: Somewhat Justified.

However, she still massively underestimates him and pays for it with her life.

So Much for Stealth: Jack's quick thinking allows him to survive when Baba Yaga returns to her resting spot in the cave (which involved him unfortunately having to hide inside a pile of her droppings), and he waits for her to go to sleep, which is smart. He very slowly makes his way out of the droppings towards the exit, but some of it plops onto the cave floor, waking the dragon. Jack then forgoes stealth and just runs for his life.

Celebrity Paradox

comment
Celebrity Paradox: Essentially, this is an Alternate Universe with an Alternate History, but all of the commonly known works of fiction like Jurassic Park or Sir Gawain and the Green Knight still exist in this universe. However, they're not acknowledged in any detail, so it's possible that the works of fiction may be different than what we know.

Obviously Evil
 Of Cinder and Bone / int_7c0bfb83
comment
Obviously Evil: Jack and Kamala are immediately wary of Okegawa on sight, thanks to his membership with the Trenchcoat Brigade, smoking in a non-smoking building, blatantly ignoring Jack the entire time he's standing there, and finally the suspicious bulge beneath said trenchcoat. Justified in that Okegawa is yakuza, so he has no reason to hide his insidious nature, not even while in America. He's also so shady looking that Jack's mother, Edie, even picked him out when he was pretending to be a janitor but was actually observing for his chance to strike.

Sore Loser: Wesley Lieberman has a tantrum when Okegawa outbids him for the Huma dragon. Yousef also insists that the hydra dragon is one after Kamala successfully shoots it with a tranq dart but it refuses to go down, biting her ankle and trying to drag her from the helicopter. Stella just can't stand the thought of Faye being alive even as she escapes and it backfires literally and figuratively.

Logical Weakness: Baba Yaga is cold-blooded and needs solar energy to move her giant body.

It ends up successfully causing the dragon to hibernate and they can safely transport her elsewhere.

Not only is it ten times harder to see—there is little to no natural light anywhere in it—but most of the stories of hauntings ramp up a lot once the sun goes down. Unfortunately, Jack's suit gets damaged and he gets lost in the forest, forcing the team to stay after dark to find him and bring him back safely before either Baba Yaga or the yakuza that are searching for her find him instead.

Take a Third Option: Stella's ultimatum was Faye had to complete her Assassination Side Quest or she'd kill her. Faye instead gets the jump on Stella and stabs her with the very poisonous syringe she gave her for said side quest. It results in a Mexican Standoff that's only broken when Winston shows up to break it up.

Villainous Breakdown: Christos completely shatters when Okegawa has his spliced diablo dragon Shikei roast and/or eat every one of his guests in front of him and burn his mansion to the ground. He ends up begging for his life and complying with Okegawa’s demands, though it’s in vain as Okegawa kills him anyway. Okegawa becomes unstable with grief after having to shoot Yagami in order to escape police custody.

Casual Kink: Faye makes a helpful suggestion when visiting the Knight Division, prompting Calloway to thank her and Faye flirts with him in return. He then teases her by saying he'll be happy to make their threesome (Jack, Kamala, and Faye are all in a polyamorous relationship with each other) a foursome and Faye insists he'd have to clear that with Jack. Jack then smirks and shrugs saying, "I'd hit that."

It's possible he's subconsciously defensive around other men after he found out his best friend in college was sleeping with his girlfriend.

Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Played with, then averted. It’s open to interpretation if Okegawa intentionally waited for the Stanton children to board the bus to school before he murdered their parents or if it was a simple coincidence of timing that they’d already left. Then when confronted by Fujioka, Okegawa threatens a daycare, thus proving he is willing to hurt innocent children to get away. It’s what makes Yagami finally turn on him.

They cooperate with the local police to get her back, but thankfully, she rescues herself and puts Okegawa out of commission for the time being.

Mood Whiplash: During Faye's final showdown with Winston, he calmly tells her to put the briefcase and car keys down before he seriously injures her, to which she responds with, "Suck my dick." Additionally, Jack saves Snow's life and immediately begins rubbing it in her face. It may seem out of character and it is—by now, he's completely unhinged from being drugged. It goes even further after Snow saves Jack's life in return after Aisaka catches up to him and he's completely livid that she actually shot him.

Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway: Jack and Kamala's cloning method, via the yakuza and the Sugimoto company. Jack's research had only just been initially successful when the yakuza steal it, and so the consequences or long term effects and results haven't even come about yet, but they still go on to clone Baba Yaga in spite of it. Naturally, it backfires on a friggin' epic scale.

Oh, Crap!: Several during each hunt. When Noah misses the shot with the tranquilizer rifle and the midnight dragon looks right at him. Charlie notably does not miss injecting the storm dragon with a sedative, but the prick of the syringe causes the dragon to become hostile and attack him. Su Jin feeds the mercury dragon some hog meat to get it over to her so she can sedate it, but it seems to think that since she also smells like the hog meat that she is on the menu as well and it starts chasing her. After Beowulf blinds the barb dragon, he tries to get close to trap it with the net, but then the dragon uses its Jacobson’s Organ to locate him.

Too Dumb to Live: The bystander Andy, who chases after the Quetzalcoatl dragon and dies when it sprays him with highly lethal gas. Jack even calls him a Darwin Award winner. The drunk co-eds boating on Lake Michigan during Libby’s hunt. Special mention to the guy who lobs a beer bottle at a live dragon. Leon the cameraman, whose macho bullshit means he argues with Calloway when the former tells him it’s too dangerous for him to stick around and film the hunt once Calloway finds out the bone dragon has hatchlings. He gets tackled and almost killed by the bone dragon for his trouble, but lucky for him, Calloway intervenes and he survives. Christos is fully aware that Okegawa can command a nine-foot tall, twenty-foot long dragon at will, yet still carves the word no into his stomach to teach him a lesson. Predictably, it backfires with Okegawa engaging in a brutal case of Disproportionate Retribution.

Left for Dead: What Aisaka Tomoda, Okegawa's second in command of the Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza clan, does to Jack. She finds the unconscious Jack and ties him to a tree, then force-feeds him a hallucinogen, dooming him to die alone in the Suicide Forest since his suit is damaged, meaning he can't find his way out. She massively underestimates him, though. Jack manages to painstakingly free himself and tries to get back to his hunting party, though understandably terrified and off his tits from the drugs. He finally bumps into Snow and the two of them are able to get back to safety.

The untold destruction and death Baba Yaga wreaks over Tokyo and even Aokigahara is exactly why no one but them should have had access to the cloning technology that brought the dragons to life.

Catch-22 Dilemma: Faye is caught in one. If she tells Jack and Kamala or the authorities about the hit, Winston will back out and leave the assassin — which they both later learn is his crazy ex—to take them out, but if she helps him, she’s now an accessory to whatever he does. Even if she can prove to the cops that she was aiding him under duress, it still doesn’t mean she won’t be charged with something eventually.

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal
 Of Cinder and Bone / int_bce728ca
comment
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Not that the Apophis Society and the Yamaguchi-gumi oyabun were ever very nice, but once Christos carves the word "no" into Okegawa’s stomach, he immediately starts planning their downfall. A subversion with Yagami betraying Okegawa. Once he saw that Okegawa was not only willing to kill innocent children but also get them both blown up, Yagami had enough and confronted him at gunpoint. Okegawa shoots him in order to escape the police and Yagami dies of his wounds not too long afterward.

comment
Yakuza: They serve as the antagonists, but only through a massive coincidence. Yagami Sugimoto is a geneticist working at MIT with a similar animal genetics fellowship that hits a monumental problem that suggests he can't fix it before the deadline, meaning years of work will be lost. His childhood friend, Kazuma Okegawa, just happens to know that and decides to take advantage of what he knows of Jack and Kamala's project, killing the clutch of dragon eggs and stealing the sole survivor so he can clone her and plunge the world right back into the dragon hunting age. There are a few things about yakuza culture mentioned, like Okegawa being a lieutenant and not the boss, but it's not elaborated on.

She can't work more than six hours a day, needs to be off her feet, and he won't let her inside the cage with Pete. She is later hunted by a dragon inside the warehouse where they were dissecting the Nordic sea serpent and manages to take it down before being escorted to the hospital for her daughter's birth.

Good Colors, Evil Colors: Played with in terms of certain dragons. Hawn is the sweetest dragon in the Knight Division pack and she’s a golden Egyptian desert dragon. Conversely, the hardest dragon on record to catch aside from Baba Yaga is the diablo dragon, which is a black dragon that had bright red scales. Subverted with other dragons, like the Netherland forest twins, who have dark green scales but are helpful and protective of their fliers, Calloway and Libby.

Xanatos Gambit: Fujioka’s plan to catch Okegawa. It would work out if Okegawa had believed the bomb threat and willfully drove to the police department to turn the two of them in, but it also served her purpose that he tried to weasel out of it, thereby exposing his truly heartless nature to Yagami, who finally turns on Okegawa. Okegawa unfortunately does get away, but since he flies away from an active shooting scene, he leads the authorities right to the diablo dragon’s lair and ends up apprehended.

Shout-Out
 Of Cinder and Bone / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: As usual with the series, there are plenty around. The individual hunts have chapter titles associated with literature: Noah’s references the story of David and Goliath from the Bible, Charlie’s references Moby Dick, Su Jin’s references The Hobbit, and Beowulf’s references the epic poem Beowulf. The chapter title for the final group hunt is a reference to Tom Waits’ “Tango ‘Til They’re Sore�, which is a song that has the lyrics, “Just get me to New Orleans� which is where they were the night before they hunt the siren wyvern. Charlie’s inner monologue has him thinking about the poem “Hope is a thing with feathers� by Emily Dickinson during his hunt of the storm dragon, which is a feathered dragon. The dragon Su Jin takes with her is named Draco since he’s an Appalachian dragon with similar color and patterns to the eponymous dragon from Dragonheart. Su Jin and her older sister Yoona mention Lake Placid and The Descent when describing how her hunt of the mercury dragon went. The chapter title of the Mission Briefing for the siren wyvern is named after a quote from Hedley Lamarr in Mel Brooks’ classic comedy, Blazing Saddles. In the video clip of the crystal dragon capture, Jack mentions Scooby Doo and Captain Caveman. Agent Shannon of course doesn’t recognize the latter. Jack mentions that some of the dragons at HQ have themed names, like the mimic dragon (which has the same ability to camouflage as a chameleon) is named after the movie Rango (which is a movie about a chameleon). Penelope's last name is named after Michael Rosenbaum, the voice actor most folks would know from the Justice League cartoon in the DCAU.

Dragons Versus Knights
 Of Cinder and Bone / int_d2e5d85d
comment
Dragons Versus Knights: Discussed heavily in the series as Jack's motivation for resurrecting the dragons. The dragons were unfairly characterized as vicious predators when in fact only some of the species were nuisances to the people of previous centuries. For instance, Baba Yaga was indeed dangerous since the dragon was the size of a T-Rex, but there were only a handful of her species still alive at the same time as people, but the people of her time still found it a justified killing to wipe the last of them out. The series points out that the void created by the worldwide extinction of the dragons had negative effects on the environment as well as creating a void of information about them that could lead to other scientific discoveries. It is Jack's belief that bringing them back would show the world their positive qualities and be a huge leap forward in research as well, for the betterment of mankind. But sadly, things don't go his way... Furthermore, at the height of the worldwide dragon hunting phenomenon, knights were considered heroes and were given fame and fortune for killing dragons. Many people in their modern day world have dragon hunters in their bloodlines and it contributes to the dark, shadowy organization that steals the dragon from Jack and Kamala. The intention is to return to the "glory days" where dragons were only seen as monsters to be killed and the knights the valiant heroes ridding the world of the danger. And they don't care who they have to murder to make this possible...

A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Okegawa carves the word “coward� in kanji into Christos’ bald head shortly before slitting his throat, echoing how Christos carved the word “no� in kanji into Okegawa’s stomach. Stella inadvertently blows herself up with her own bomb.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Christos uses a sushi knife to carve the word “no� into Okegawa’s stomach as punishment for refusing to listen to his superiors. Okegawa returns the favor by carving the word “coward� into Christos’ forehead and then slitting his throat.

Sworn Brothers: Yagami and Okegawa. When Yagami was a kid, rival yakuza gang members broke into his limo and chased him down to kidnap him as leverage against his father, Makoto, who was in bed with the Yamaguchi-gumi. Okegawa intervened and saved Yagami's life, so Makoto had him inducted into the Yamaguchi-gumi and the two were raised together as brothers. Unfortunately, Yagami finds out it was all a lie: Okegawa was recruited by the Inagawa-kai to infiltrate the Yamaguchi-gumi as a sleeper agent by way of becoming Yagami's nakama.

She has just as much importance to the story as Jack and isn't just eye candy. That being said, Jack falls for her anyway.

Targeted to Hurt the Hero: After Winston's initial assassination attempt fails, Aisaka Tomoda instructs him to instead kidnap Faye. At first, it seems like she's going to use her to exchange for Baba Yaga if Jack and Kamala manage to catch her, but we later find out that she did it to torment them in revenge of them putting Okegawa in a coma. Had Jack not been forced to kill Aisaka in self defense, she probably would have told Winston to torture Faye to death.

However, in consequent books, it's shown that while Jack's research was stolen by the bad guys and has Gone Horribly Right, it did also allow for the resurrection of other extinct or endangered animals and is having a positive impact on the conservationist and the scientific community as well.

Science Is Bad: Defied. The book makes a point to state that what Jack and Kamala are doing is for the purpose of education and restoring balance to ecosystems thrown out of whack after people destroyed all the dragons. What is bad is exploiting science for profit, which the book is very clear about, and it also takes shots at animal cruelty. The former is where it departs from its inspiration, Jurassic Park.

It also affects his behavior somewhat by the time he runs into Snow and is fully off his tits on drugs by this point, as well as being sore, exposed to the harsh cold, and scared out of his mind.

Choke Holds
 Of Cinder and Bone / int_f81fb215
comment
Choke Holds: Snow's ancestor, who allegedly killed the very last Baba Yaga dragon in history, did it by getting astride the dragon's back and slowly choking her to death over the course of several hours. This was done since it was in an era where their weapons couldn't penetrate her unbelievably thick scales, so he reasoned the only way to kill her was by strangulation. It's also mentioned the other rumor of how this dragon went extinct is that a ship of dragon hunters chased it out over the ocean into open water and the dragon, too exhausted to keep flying, eventually fell into the sea and drowned. Both stories have an edge of Disproportionate Retribution and Alas, Poor Villain.

Facepalm: Kamala has an epic one when she finds out Jack is paying Fujioka $1,000 per day to retain her as their bodyguard. It also cues a Fun with Subtitles moment, as the phrase she exclaims in Hindi translates to "Shove all the planets in the solar system up my ass!"

Bring It Back Alive: The yakuza want Baba Yaga brought back alive. Jack and Kamala want to retrieve her alive as well, but it makes no nevermind to Fry and Snow, which causes a conflict of interest in their group.

Theme Naming: Confirmed that the format for the books in the series will be "Of X and X." Usually, it's two nouns, with one of them pertaining to an attribute or trait of dragons.

Fun with Subtitles: Like the one in Of Cinder and Bone, there is a phrase in Hindi, but this time spoken by Jack, that translates to: "You're a snack fried in the vaginal sweat of a thousand prostitutes." Needless to say, Jack is speaking to Agent Shannon, his favorite person.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. Faye gets a nice goose egg on the back of her head and a bruise around her cheek after surviving Winston's kidnapping. However, it's also Lampshaded with Kamala, who somehow escapes the entire debacle without a scratch on her.

Evil Is Petty: Stella appears to be tormenting Faye out of sheer jealousy that she has Winston’s attention—though she is aware it’s non-romantic—and because Faye shot her in the previous book.

Shown Their Work: The biology and physiology of the dragons in this book are given more time to shine and align with real life reptiles and birds. The plot centers around capturing ten specific dragons, which lends time to explain their abilities as well as what drew them to the particular environment they were found in.
