Written by Daniel Dickson

Narrated by Stewart Crank

Claim your dragon. Claim your truth. An epic adventure awaits!

'Eragon’ meets ‘Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda’ in this queer YA fantasy adventure that will leave you breathless until the last page.

With war threatening to shatter Ivearth's 500 years of peace, Prince Xavier embarks on a perilous quest to the mystical isle of Hom to claim a dragon and secure his place as king. But a dragon can only bond with someone true to themselves, forcing Xavier to confront his deepest fears. His truth, if revealed, could destroy the monarchy, the kingdom and the faith he serves.

Accompanied by a newly-heartbroken magical creatures expert, and a fearless steamboat captain, Xavier braves mermaid-infested waters and faces off against fearsome dragons. But the trio soon learns Hom calls on them to confront the obstacles that lie within. For Xavier, dangerous feelings for someone unexpected becomes the trigger to confronting all he has suppressed.

Get swept away with this action-packed coming-of-age adventure filled with love, friendship, and self-discovery. Will Xavier be successful in his mission? Or will his journey lead him down a different path, one that could alter the course of history forever?
