After his dad's boat crashes, Ed finds himself on a strange beach. He meets a girl—headstrong Steff—who doesn't know where they are, either. As Ed and Steff explore, they discover the deep lore of this new realm.

They meet a pack of wolves with a secret and an armoured pangolin called Astolpho, who reveals the only way home involves a dragon who lives at the top of an impossibly tall, rocky spire.

Where the Dragon Waits by Tom Moorhouse blends traditional fantasy elements with unique humour and originality in this breathtaking, heartfelt, and utterly immersive story.
