The Words of the Night
The Words of the Night by C. Chancy
A historian is on a plane to Korea when it is attacked by a dragon.
He and a girl on it find themselves the prisoner of monsters. Pirates who are shark-men. And he finds himself being turned into one.
When the attack comes, he is ready to give up.
Meanwhile, the Demon-Callers are investigating the reports of pirates, and we see this from the point of view of their commander, who is a vampire.
It involves discussions of allergies, a feather cloak, archery, discovery that this is 17th century Korea that does not match theirs even without considering the merfolk and the cultivators, smallpox inoculations and the use of eggs for rabies inoculations, wine, gold, relative, the royal court and its rules, and more.
