What to expect

Brought to you by Puffin.

Become the impossible . . .

The electric new fantasy series for fans of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief and Impossible Creatures, perfect for readers aged 9-12.

Life is no fun for Alex Evans. Ever since her dad's death, her overprotective mother has smothered her with unbreakable rules and unspoken fears. When the frustration inside Alex finally gets too big to bear, it rushes to the surface.

And flames spill from her mouth.

Because Alex is a dragon. One of the many who live among us, unless something awakens their true nature. Led by the mighty Oliphos to the legendary island of Skralla, Alex must now train alongside fierce, frightening dragon children, if she is to unlock the power of her birthright.

But other dragons are rising too. Drak Midna, the greatest dragon of all, is preparing a war against the human world, and Alex has to be good enough for this fight, or we all will burn . . .

Critics Review

A fire-breathing, heights-soaring, majestic beast of a book

Thomas Taylor, author of the Eerie-on-Sea Mysteries

Astonishing fantasy with a unique story that burns with brilliance. Readers will love this thrilling new take on dragons

A.F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series

The kind of fast-paced, perfectly plotted, thrillingly written book that makes you want to devour it in one go. Murray is a master of world-building and this book is no different – he’s truly in a league of his own. It’s enough to make you believe in dragons.

Katya Balen, Carnegie-winning author of The Light in Everything
