  Elynne is the daughter of a dragon charmer and desperately wants to help her father in his work, but she is a shy girl and the ferocious creatures terrify her. However, when a rare royal dragon flies into Elynne's life and gives birth to a baby male dragon, there seems to be some kind of strange connection between the baby prince and the girl. When it becomes clear that the baby dragon is in mortal danger, Elynne wonders if she will find the courage to protect him. A marvellous fantasy from one of the masters of the genre.

  Elynne longs to be a dragon charmer like her father, but she fears the ferocious creatures. Then the annual migration brings a rare royal dragon to her father's show, a Crimson Queen. Amidst great excitement, the Queen gives birth to a baby dragon, a prince. Valuable beyond measure, and so at once in mortal danger. When he is stolen, only Elynne - timid, mouse-like Elynne - knows where he might have been taken. So, her terrifying journey starts. A wonderfully written, thrilling, imaginative fantasy.
