A poisoned king. A mysterious dragon. Myths becoming real.
Dragons have always lived peacefully on the northern shores of the Kingdom of Birds, until one day, the ancient, mythical Tibowara lands on the mountains, and the old myths become real. When a Tibowara roars, it emits Dust, not fire, and if you breathe in this Dust you will lose your mind… Haydn must take his dad’s flag to the Sacred Garden, but the stolen dragon egg in his bag needs returning to the nest before its mother ravages the island. Elfridie must save her poisoned father, but finding an antidote means leaving everything she’s ever known and traveling alone across the island, in search of people she thought were myths.
In the storm of magic and darkness, can Elfridie and Haydn carry out their quests before the Tibowara ravage the island, and nobody in their right mind is left to tell the tale?
Kingdom Of Birds is available in ebook and paperback from all your favourite platforms. It can also be ordered from your local bookshop or library. Just ask your librarian to order it in.
