The Dragon's Manservant

He's singlehandedly fighting an army to defend a kingdom filled with ungrateful idiots. Can he stop his legacy from going up in flames?
Bib the sorcerer is done saving the world. After volunteering to guard his realm's vulnerable backdoor by remaining in exile for the last seventy years, the snarky sword master has no interest in bailing the next generation out of their catastrophic war. But when his late wife's step-grandkids show up begging for help, his initial refusal turns to vengeance when one of the youngsters is killed by an assassin.
Grimly determined to balance the bloody scales, Bib returns to his former home to be greeted with unfamiliar sights and a mocking populace. But in his eagerness to be victorious so he can give them the finger and stalk into the sunset, the famous magic-wielder seriously underestimates a deadly foe.
Will his arrogance get him spit-roasted by his new master?
