Saints and Sinners: Paint Your Dragon and Open Sesame

Another omnibus contains two of Tom Holt's hilarious fantasy novels. In Paint Your Dragon, Sculptress Bianca Wilson is a living legend. St. George is also a legend, but not living. However, when Bianca's sculpture of the patron saint and his scaly chum gets a bit too lifelike, it opens up a new can of wyrms. The dragon knows that in the battle between Good and Evil, Evil got a raw deal and is looking to set the record straight. And George (who cheated) thinks the record's just fine as it is. In Open Sesame, something is wrong. Just as the boiling water was about to be poured on his head and the man with the red book appeared, Akram the Terrible, the most feared thief in Baghdad, knew that this had happened before. Many times. And he was damned if he was going to let it happen again. Just because he was a fictional character, it didn't mean it always had to end this way.
