My Review

4.5

This is a great comeback from Dragons in our midst. Some recognizable characters in the kingdom of Camelot, including Master Merlin. Light plot, easy to read, and fast-paced. Dragons Goliath is to humans what Sir Devin is to Dragons; their hatred for the other species makes them hunt their prey non-stop. Morgan plans to keep her youth and remain powerful, for she needs one last scale. My favorite character is Sabina, who has lived the last 4 years in the woods among Dragons and the rest of the good Dragons.

A middle grade faith-building fantasy adventure from the bestselling Dragons in Our Midst story world.

In King Arthur’s Camelot where dragons are outlawed, a poor apprentice boy and a dragon-raised orphan girl unravel an evil plot to exterminate dragons from this world and the next.

Hawk spends his days trying to survive as a lowly apprentice in the harsh employ of Master Andrew? a sly shopkeeper making illegal bargains with dragons. But when Master Andrew is hired by Lady Morgan to cheat the dragon Clefspeare out of his promised gemstone payment, Hawk’s faith in God spurs him to action.

Sabina hasn’t had contact with humans in years, not since the kind-hearted dragon Legossi rescued her from the ruins of her burned village. But the forest is no place for a young girl to come of age, so Legossi agrees to have a knight take Sabina to Lady Morgan’s estate. Yet Sabina quickly realizes Lady Morgan has a sinister scheme to wipe out dragons in this realm and beyond. Can Hawk and Sabina warn the dragons and foil Lady Morgan’s plans before it’s too late?

Readers of Bryan Davis’s previous books will devour this fast-paced read following the thrilling adventures featuring new characters.
