The Gift of Charms

'UNPUTDOWNABLE' – MUMSNET

Hidden in a mist-filled valley, far from the habitation of man, live the world's remaining dragons.

Divided by clan but united by the need to conceal themselves from mankind, these creatures, supposedly of myth and legend, try to live ordinary lives, while ever aware that discovery will almost certainly be their undoing.

Centuries ago the evil dragsaur beasts vanished and a great war spelled an end to the dragons' slavery by humans. But since separating themselves from the rest of the world the dragon clans have paid a heavy price. There is an emptiness in the Land of Dragor that did not exist before, and the elders feel it. Disharmony runs rife and superstitions abound.

So when a strange egg is laid, all fear what may come of it.

Could Dragor be about to meet its saviour? Or its destroyer?

Widely praised on its hardback publication, the first volume of Julia Suzuki's Land of Dragor series will entrance the child in any reader, of whatever age . . .
