Book Synopsis

When 12-year-old Luke Walsh finds his way through a magical portal leading to the island of Draksmore, he stumbles upon a huge secret: everyone in his family has the power to turn into a dragon; but when Luke's little brother is captured by pirates who want dragon power for themselves, Luke must find a way to overcome his biggest fear in order to earn his wings before his brother-and all of Draksmore-is destroyed.

The second in the series, "The Brothers Dragon: Journey to Snowdonia" will be released in 2024.
