The Dragon Masters are going to visit Queen Rose’s kingdom. But Rori and Drake must stay behind. Then a four-headed dragon attacks the castle–and Maldred is riding it! How is Maldred controlling this giant dragon? Will Rori and Drake have to battle the dark wizard on their own?
{My thoughts} – Rori finally gets to show us what her dragon Vulcan is made of. Rori and Vulcan are the only two they have yet to connect. Throughout the book, they are put to the ultimate test and are forced to work harder at communicating. It appears that most of it is misunderstanding of direction, but that does change, eventually.
In this book, the castle is under attack by the evil wizard. He shows up with his dragon Hydra and there is much damage that occurs. Vulcan ends up hurt and Worm’s life gets threatened. However, in the end it all comes together nicely. I really enjoyed how well put together this story was in this particular book. It helped to show so many different emotions throughout the characters.
I look forward to reading the next book soon.
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.
