Become the impossible . . .
The electric new fantasy series for fans of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief and Impossible Creatures, perfect for readers aged 9-12.
Life is no fun for Alex Evans. Ever since her dad's death, her overprotective mother has smothered her with unbreakable rules and unspoken fears. When the frustration inside Alex finally gets too big to bear, it rushes to the surface.
And flames spill from her mouth.
Because Alex is a dragon. One of the many who live among us, unless something awakens their true nature. Led by the mighty Oliphos to the legendary island of Skralla, Alex must now train alongside fierce, frightening dragon children, if she is to unlock the power of her birthright.
But other dragons are rising too. Drak Midna, the greatest dragon of all, is preparing a war against the human world, and Alex has to be good enough for this fight, or we all will burn . . .
Astonishing fantasy with a unique story that burns with brilliance. Readers will love this thrilling new take on dragons * A.F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series *
A blazingly brilliant adventure that will burn bright in the imagination long after the final page. * Aisling Fowler, author of Fireborn *
Dragons may be rare, but page-turners as beautifully written as this are even rarer. Potter and Percy Jackson fans – your new, glorious obsession awaits! * Phil Earle, author of When the Sky Falls *
Struan Murray is a singular talent, and Dragonborn is children’s writing at its most sweeping and epic - wild, witty, warm and wise * Ross Montgomery, author of I Am Rebel *
A fire-breathing, heights-soaring, majestic beast of a book * Thomas Taylor, author of the Eerie-on-Sea Mysteries *
Struan Murray is a master storyteller. Dragonborn is an unputdownable, marvellously imagined fantasy, rich with mythical dragon lore. Perfect for the reader who suspects they possess the heart of a dragon. * M.G. Leonard, author of The Hunt for the Golden Scarab *
Exciting, thrilling and roaringly good. This is a story that makes you yearn to become a dragon. * Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear *
The kind of fast-paced, perfectly plotted, thrillingly written book that makes you want to devour it in one go. Murray is a master of world-building and this book is no different - he’s truly in a league of his own. It’s enough to make you believe in dragons. * Katya Balen, Carnegie-winning author of The Light in Everything *
With prose as polished as dragon scales, and a lead character who breathes with her own fierce brand of magic, Dragonborn is a uniquely conjured story. I can see children the world over hoarding these books like treasures under their beds. * Ash Bond, author of the Peregrine Quinn series *
Think you’ve read every dragon story? Think again. This one soars with a glorious new twist on dragons! I adored this epic, heart-racing fantasy full of fire, flight, and fierce destiny. * Vashti Hardy, author of Brightstorm *
