About this ebook
In the land of Draconis, there are no dragons.
Once, there were. Once, humans and dragons were friends, and created the great city of Rivven together.
But then came the Dragon Storm, and the dragons retreated from the world of humans.
To the men and women of Draconis, they became legends and myth.
When Princess Skye returns to Rivven she discovers a city in chaos. After an attack by the fearsome dragon Firedreamer, everyone is preparing to go to war with the Dragonseer Guild!
But Skye knows the Guild is not a threat, and something is terribly wrong. Can she find her own dragon, Soulsinger, and stop this war before dragons disappear forever?
The eighth book in an exciting new fantasy series from the highly acclaimed author of Orion Lost, brilliantly illustrated throughout, and perfect for fans of Beast Quest and Dragon Mountain.

Dragon Storm - Alastair Chisholm
ROYAL PROCLAMATION:
There are dragons in the land of Draconis.
The evil lands of Venn and Borolo are
sending dragons against us. His Royal
Highness Prince Harald has seized an
enemy dragon. He is the Dragon Prince
and the one true Dragonseer.
All hail Prince Harald!
Report all dragon sightings. Failure to do
so is treason. Protecting other dragons is
treason. Refusing an order from
Prince Harald is treason.
Obey your King. Obey Prince Harald.
Draconis forever.
In Skye’s dream she was flying a dragon.
She was in the cool air high above Rivven, looking down at the houses, market stalls, smithies and farms that made up the city. She could see the Royal Palace below, with its white walls and towers, and tiny fluttering flags.
She was sitting on the back of a large dragon. He had a long neck, and his back was pale blue from nose to tail. His wings were spread wide, riding the air currents like a bird. His back was warm, his skin smooth and dry.
A dragon! thought Skye. But strangely she wasn’t scared. It was like something she remembered, like hearing a tune from long ago…
The dragon turned his head and looked at her. He had soft ears like an owl, pale brown eyes and a long snout, and when Skye saw him she felt an odd happiness. Hello,
she said.
The dragon nodded. Help me,
he said.
Skye frowned. What?
"Help me!"
He lurched and suddenly tumbled through the air, and Skye yelped. She wrapped her arms round his neck as he fell down towards the city, towards the palace!
Stop!
she shouted. What are you doing? Stop!
HELP ME!
he roared, his voice fierce and wild. The palace roof hurtled towards them, and Skye screamed—
Ma’am?
Skye blinked and woke up. In front of her was Moira, her maid, looking worried.
Ma’am, are you all right?
Skye rubbed her face. I was dreaming,
she said, yawning. She looked around. Are we there yet?
Moira smiled. Nearly.
She leaned back so Skye could see out of the window.
They were in a carriage heading along the South Road. The road was smooth and the carriage swayed gently as they moved. Skye’s guards rode ahead and behind, and the air was full of the clip-clop of horses and the jingle of their harnesses. Ahead lay the city of Rivven, glinting and beautiful in the bright autumn sunshine. Rising from the centre was the Palace Rock, and above it the Royal Palace.
I always forget how good Rivven looks,
said Skye.
Moira nodded. It was lovely staying at Lady Crimson’s lodge,
she said, but I miss the old streets here.
She smiled at Skye. Have you had a nice holiday, ma’am?
It wasn’t a question a maid would normally ask, but Moira was only a year or two older than Skye, and as close as Skye had to a proper friend. Moira could get away with saying things to Skye that others wouldn’t dare to, and Skye felt she could tell Moira things that she couldn’t say to anyone else.
Skye shrugged. It was fine,
she said. Lady Crimson’s nice. But we both know I was only there because Father didn’t know what to do with me over the summer.
We missed all the summer festivals,
said Moira sadly. Except the Maze Festival, remember?
Skye nodded but didn’t answer.
Moira gazed up at the palace. I wonder what else we’ve missed?
The carriage rolled through the gates of Rivven, past the city guards in their polished armour, and the crowds started cheering. Skye smiled awkwardly at them from the window, and waved now and then. She always found this embarrassing, and it didn’t help that Moira, hidden
