From Goodreads: “My family has been protecting dragons for more than a thousand years, and the dragons are in trouble. There’s a group that wants to kill them—they’re really mean people Rhee—and the dragons are losing their invisibility”. Fifteen year old Griff Owen explains to girlfriend Rhianna as they fly dragonback over 1961 London. The ruthless Order of St. George, led by the fanatical Lord Fey, want to destroy the few remaining dragons and their human allies—the scattered Protectors—and recover the Grail. Griff, Rhee and Nick, whose unique ability may help the dragons, together with young dragon Alph (ate-little-pigs-happily), battle the murderous Order—and heartbreaking traitors—to save the last dragons.”

I was highly impressed when I read this novel.  I’ve always had a love for dragons, and this novel is the perfect read for any dragon lover.  It has multiple elements that make it great for all ages, such as teenage angst, secret societies, daring missions, ulterior worlds, and, of course, dragon lore.  Edlin has created a superb story and his explanations behind dragons are absolutely superb.  It is evident that Edlin possesses an excellent imagination and he’s put it to paper, creating an intense journey that all will love.  Although this novel is relatively long, each aspect of the novel, both big and small, plays key parts in the story’s progression; making it all necessary and exceedingly intricate. 

The characterization alone was enough to draw me in and keep me reading.  However, not only are the human characters extremely well written, but the dragons are as well.  They have amazing personalities all unique to themselves.  I truly enjoyed learning about them, their alternate worlds, their hierarchy, and their different species.  Although this novel has an amazing resolution that basically ends the book, I am hoping for a sequel of sorts.  Five stars.  

I received a copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review.
