Leodan is a good king and a good father, but he happens to be the latest in a line of kings who have subjugated several other peoples for centuries, and who’ve made a deal with an Other-like threat beyond the kingdom’s borders.

The series describes dragon breeds and behavior in detail and follows them all around the world, from England to China. It’s a surprisingly touching, fast-paced adventure and appropriate for YA readers.
