What This Book Is About
In the world of Rivven, dragons were once thought to be extinct. But a secret guild of dragonseers knows the truth—dragons still exist, hidden in another realm, waiting to be summoned by children who share a special bond with them. When a young dragonseer is called to serve the kingdom, they must navigate a royal court full of secrets, rival factions, and a king whose true intentions are far from noble.
Part of the thrilling Dragon Storm series by acclaimed author Alastair Chisholm, this book plunges readers into a world of ancient magic, hidden treasures, and palace intrigue. Each chapter is illustrated throughout by Eric Deschamps, whose dynamic artwork brings the dragons and their riders vividly to life. With fast-paced action, mysteries to unravel, and dragons with distinct personalities and powers, this is a fantasy adventure that keeps young readers racing from one chapter to the next. Perfect for fans of Dragon Masters and How to Train Your Dragon.
Available at Popular bookstores, Kinokuniya, and the Singapore National Library.
