A Camelot adventure about faith, dragons, and a hidden plot

Set in a Camelot where dragons are forbidden, the story brings together Hawk, a shop apprentice whose faith prompts him to act, and Sabina, a girl raised among dragons. Their paths converge around Lady Morgan’s plan to eliminate dragons, with the threat extending beyond the human realm. The adventure combines Arthurian elements—including riddles associated with Merlin—with dragons, a supernatural dog, chases, and escapes. Prayer and faith are woven into the conflict, while the two young protagonists offer different perspectives on a world divided between humans and dragons. The book belongs to Bryan Davis’s Dragons in Our Midst story world and introduces new characters.

Book overview

A middle grade faith-building fantasy adventure from the bestselling Dragons in Our Midst story world.

In King Arthur's Camelot where dragons are outlawed, a poor apprentice boy and a dragon-raised orphan girl unravel an evil plot to exterminate dragons from this world and the next.

Hawk spends his days trying to survive as a lowly apprentice in the harsh employ of Master Andrew--a sly shopkeeper making illegal bargains with dragons. But when Master Andrew is hired by Lady Morgan to cheat the dragon Clefspeare out of his promised gemstone payment, Hawk's faith in God spurs him to action.

Sabina hasn't had contact with humans in years, not since the kind-hearted dragon Legossi rescued her from the ruins of her burned village. But the forest is no place for a young girl to come of age, so Legossi agrees to have a knight take Sabina to Lady Morgan's estate. Yet Sabina quickly realizes Lady Morgan has a sinister scheme to wipe out dragons in this realm and beyond. Can Hawk and Sabina warn the dragons and foil Lady Morgan's plans before it's too late?
