Daniel and Beatrice Cook, along with their parents and their dragon
chick, Torcher, are getting ready to open an orphan dragon sanctuary
near Castle Drake in St. Leonard's Forest. But then Dr. Drake brings
news that several dragon members of the Society of Dragons have been
attacked and it looks to be the work of the Dragonsbane Knights, a
secret society of dragon killers that was thought to have been
eradicated centuries ago. If Dragonsbane is resurfacing, then no dragons
in Britain are safe! When Torcher is kidnapped, Daniel and Beatrice are
convinced that Dragonsbane is behind it, and, with the help of the
Guardian Dragon's apprentice--an adolescent half-European, half-frost
dragon named Erasmus--they race to bring Torcher home before it's too
late.
