Description
He wasn't meant to be the hero. But he was chosen by the dragon.
'A fantastic new take on dragons - readers are in for a thrilling ride!' A.F Steadman, author of the Skandar series
For Lunar and his crew of fellow orphans, every day on Mars is a fight for survival. They scavenge for scraps in a wasteland ravaged by wars and storms, hoping they’ll have enough to eat.
Like most kids, Lunar knows the legends about dragons. How there’s one for every planet, every moon and every star. But no dragon is coming to rescue them.
Until one day, a scavenging mission goes dangerously wrong, forcing Lunar to hide underground. There, he finds the only hope left for a dying planet: the last dragon. And when the dragon won’t let him go, it becomes alarmingly clear: Lunar Jones has been chosen to save Mars.
