They said Dad was a dragon slayer. They were wrong.

When Nathan's dad goes missing, presumed dead, Nathan is whisked away to the Alexandra School of Heroic Arts to train as his replacement. At school, he and his new friends soon learn:

Dragons are not the worst monsters out there.

And Nathan's dad might not be dead ... yet.

Nathan and his friends escape from school to find his dad. To succeed, they'll need to seek the aid of the dragons and unravel an international ring of wildlife smugglers. If they fail, none of them will survive.

This action-packed novel, the first in the Dragon Defence League series, imagines dragons in modern day New Zealand. If you like adventure with a dose of fantasy, this is the book for you!
