Coming May 2026! An Accident of Dragons
An adventurous and light-hearted queer cozy fantasy debut, to be published by Erewhon Books.

“Delightful — I was all in from the very first paragraph and could not put it down. I read it in one sitting. Such a light touch is hard to find, and Radke pairs her excellent world building with characters I found difficult, if not impossible, to resist. I will be watching eagerly for more from Cheri Radke.”
—Caroline Stevermer, author of The Glass Magician and co-author of Sorcery and Cecelia with Patricia C. Wrede
“What do you get when an overly dramatic but charming, reluctant hero (who just happens to share his chaotic mind with a dragon) is yanked into a swashbuckling adventure to save the daughter he loves? An Accident of Dragons. Fantasy readers will enjoy this frolicking tale that marries dragons, the love of an unconventional family and the notion that discovering your true (and better) self can happen entirely by accident.”
— J. Penner, author of A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic
