Dragon Along

Sometimes, the promise of a different story doesn't quite go the way you planned.

After the adventure of a lifetime and hatching a dragon of his own, Camaráin promises his mother that they won't be forced on the same journey his sister embarked on. That pledge appears to have happened a bit too literally: for as much as Camaráin's hatchling Brían loves to sit and read with him, they share neither the Bond nor the friendship that Camaráin's sister had with her dragon.

When his grandparents invite the family to their new home outside the capital city of Mór, Camaráin thinks the extent of his new story is getting rid of the belligerent gnome that has taken up residence in his grandparents' bathroom. At least, until the gnome forms an instant rapport with Brían that leaves Camaráin flummoxed-and also quite jealous.

If Camaráin is to discover why he cannot form a Bond with his new dragon, he must navigate the strange webs of Mór spun by a secret scholarly society, a band of fae hunters, tourists taking up too much space, and the banned books section at the local library.

Evidently, the days of bonding over books and a cuppa have yet to make their way to the land of Nóra.
