Three teen dragon tamers face their greatest monsters and fight to be happy together in this shamelessly queer coming-of-age graphic novel, set in a historical Philippines.

Ten years ago, the Great Tamers saved the people of Punong Panday from a giant hydra, turning the once savage beast into a peace-keeper. Now, these three men are known across the land as legends. But for Dima, Espie, and Keris, the Great Tamers are more than legends... they're their fathers. And to become worthy successors, the young friends must each prove themselves in a physical contest against the hydra, Matutum.

Dima is too meek and untalented, especially compared to the short-tempered Espie. Even their cool mentor Keris never stood a chance at winning. When their dreams become a deadly game of pride, they have to find a way out together—with their blades drawn, and their fathers' legacies burnt to ashes.

Draconic action, intimately written friendships, and a lush setting all come together in The Three Beasts, from debut author-illustrator Grovey Pascasio.
