#1 - Dragonborn

Become the impossible . . .

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 . . .

#2 - Dragonborn: The Twilight Child

Having saved the island of Skralla, Alex and her friends face a new challenge to prevent the dragon Drak Midna renewing his war against humanity.

With the mighty Oliphos missing, Alex must travel to the city of Dundarrak in the magical heart of Scotland, where humans and dragons live together, battling side-by-side against an ancient evil. But that evil is growing stronger every day, the old alliance unravelling as unseen powers strike from the shadows.

Surrounded by old friends and new enemies, Alex must master her own unruly dragon-self before Dundarrak falls, with the help of one of the most dangerous allies of all – her mother.
