Synopsis

The fourth book in a thrilling, magical, and action-packed new fantasy series, illustrated throughout and perfect for 7 - 9 year olds!

In the land of Draconis, there are no dragons. Once, there were. Once, humans and dragons were friends, and created the great city of Rivven together. But then came the Dragon Storm, and the dragons retreated from the world of humans. To the men and women of Draconis, they became legends and myth.

Young dragonseer Mira and her dragon Flameteller love finding out how things work and fixing them, and so they're excited to learn about the ancient magic that powers the home of the Dragonseer Guild - and helps keep its existence a secret. But when the King of Draconis announces a plan to hunt down and destroy all dragons, and the magic that powers the Dragonseer Guild begins to fail, threatening to expose it to the world, Mira and Flameteller must find a way to fix it - before the Guild, and the dragons, are found by King Godfic's soldiers.

An exciting new fantasy series from the highly acclaimed author of Orion Lost, brilliantly illustrated throughout, and perfect for fans of Beast Quest and How to Train your Dragon.

Reviews

Dragon Storm: Mira and Flameteller is the third instalment in the Dragon Storm series. The story is set in the city of Rivven, where dragons once ruled. The only problem now is that a King rules and he hates dragons. He also doesn’t know there is a group of young children who are dragonseers and know dragons are very much alive!

This series is incredibly popular in my classroom with both boys and girls due to the mix of male and female characters. I have a few children who are less confident in reading but have picked these books up and enjoyed reading them - both themselves, independently, or also with an adult. The children have even played 'Dragon Storm' in the playground, creating and choosing their own dragons, which I must admit is very sweet.

Each story not only keeps the children hooked with the storyline but there is also themes of friendship, kindness and learning from mistakes which we have used as discussion points in the classroom. I would highly recommend this series as a whole class book for everyone to enjoy.
