In ancient times dragons were the ultimate threat to the rest of the mythical world. At the height of the Age of Dragons, it appeared that dragons might not only gain dominion over the magical races, but could potentially overrun the nonmagical world as well. A group of specially-trained dragon slayers called Dragonwatch banded together to stand against the dragons.
Together, these dragon slayers confined the majority of them to dragon sanctuaries. Legend of the Dragon Slayer is the illustrated story of the very first dragon slayer who took to battle. This epic legend comes to life with imaginatively rendered full-color illustrations. Powerful monsters have surrounded the Kingdom of Selona. Even still, Selona's biggest threat will come from the Dragon, and it will take every ounce of wit and experience that Konrad's acquired to stand a chance against such a formidable foe.
Legend of the Dragon Slayer is a stand-alone tale of valor, destiny, and magic sure to reward fantasy lovers. In the long-awaited sequel to Fablehaven, the dragons who have been kept at the dragon sanctuaries no longer consider them safe havens, but prisons.
And they want their freedom. The dragons are no longer our allies Grandma Larsen seemed angry, though she was trying to cover it up. Grandma and Grandpa Sorenson both looked concerned. Bracken was there, appearing unusually somber. And Agad looked apologetic. Perhaps it was the absence of conversation after they entered—no greetings, no small talk.
Everyone just stared at her and Seth. Or maybe there really was an intangible tension in the air. Agad broke the tension first, stepping forward to greet them. Plump and elderly, he had a gray beard that hung almost to his waist.
He wore a silky robe of dark blue, topped by a black cloak trimmed with sable. Rings glittered on all his fingers. Agad had given them good advice when they were at Wyrmroost. He had recruited the dragons that had enabled them to win the battle of Zzyzx. And he had helped set things right at Fablehaven after the demons were locked away inside a new prison. Agad was powerful, smart, and on their side.
Grandpa Sorenson told me to bring Kendra to his office. Though she felt certain that Grandpa Sorenson, as Captain of the Knights of the Dawn, knew where they were, he never shared.
It was all top secret. Agad looked at Grandma Larsen. We should at least have the conversation. Then he paled, looking at Agad. Out of prison? Is this about the ogre? Is Kendra a witness?
It was unwise. But reprimanding you is not the purpose of my visit. Was this related to that encounter somehow? They are remarkable children. They could be of service. However, I am not their guardian. Our world is too new to them. Everything would depend on how we present it. We could make it sound like a holiday. We could make it sound necessary.
We could make it sound out of the question. The wizard cleared his throat. Agad furrowed his brow. We could be heading in that direction. No sanctuaries have fallen, but in some places the situation is turning ugly. I fear we have become too complacent over the years.
Agad nodded. But not really. And that started with the dragons. Kendra had met dragons. The thought made her shiver. There were plenty of wild places back then, and coexistence was not a major problem. The unbelief of mortals helped repel most beings of a magical nature. And there were unwritten laws that generally kept humans and mystical creatures apart. Agad held up a finger. Remember, I was once a dragon, long ago.
I remember those times.
