In the first book in this fully-illustrated series, 8-year old Drake is snatched up by King Roland`s soldier and taken to the castle. He is to be trained as a Dragon Master. At the castle, he is joined by three other young Dragon Masters-in-training: Ana, Rori, and Bo. The Dragon Masters must learn how to connect with and train their dragons - and they must also uncover their dragons` special powers. Does Drake have what it takes to be a Dragon Master?
