Action-packed and written in engaging prose, this page-turning fantasy
is perfect for fans of Tristan Strong and Wings of Fire.
When Flaxfield the great wizard dies, his apprentice, Sam, is left
without a master. Sam has great power--he just doesn't know it yet. What
he does know is that he needs to find a new teacher if he wants to
complete his magical education.
Accompanied only by his dragon, Sam sets out on his quest to find a new
master. But there are dangerous forces who want Sam's powers for
themselves. When Sam is tricked into making a mortal error, the only one
who can save him is his dragon. But will that be enough?
Toby Forward's Carnegie Medal-nominated novel combines lyrical writing

quality of a classic.
