Mountains of Fire (Dragon Charmers #1)

Mountains of Fire is a whirlwind ride through a vivid landscape of exploding spells, magical gems and colour-coded dragons — an exhilarating adventure for younger fantasy fans. Logan lives with Zared, an elderly and absent-minded wizard, in Shanoria — the Kingdom of Dragons. His closest friend is Alyxa, a dragon charmer with the rare gift of soothing and commanding dragons. But not all dragons in Shanoria are tame, and when the feral Reds kidnap the crown prince, Logan and Alyxa are thrust into a fast-paced adventure. The Reds, and their evil leader, Firetongue, are plotting a volcanic upheaval that will make the world hot, flame-filled and free of humans. Logan, Alyxa and the obnoxious Prince Myles have to find the legendary white dragon, Silverhorn, and convince him to help prevent their fiery doom. Linda McNabb lives and works in Auckland with her husband and two daughters. Mountains of Fire, Book One of The Dragon Charmers, is her fifth children’s fantasy novel, to be followed by Valley of Silver. Her first, The Dragon’s Apprentice, was a finalist in the 2003 New Zealand Post Childrens’ Book Awards.
