The Fire Within

David ran a hand through his mop of brown hair. Dragons. It was certainly different from his last set of lodgings, where all you got were spiders and the occasional mouse. “It’s perfect,” he said.

When student David Rain moves into the Pennykettle household as a lodger, he’s intrigued by the clay dragons which he finds there. At first he thinks they’re just for decoration. But everything changes when he’s given his own special dragon, and begins to unlock the thrilling secret of the fire within… Enter a world of secrets, sorcery and dragons in this first book in Chris D’Lacey’s acclaimed fantasy series.
