Dragonsdale, Salamanda Drake
Far away, on the Isles of Bresal, live creatures which we’ve always classified as fairy tale creatures. The Dragons.
Cara and Breena are best friends, the only difference is that Breena is a dragon rider.Cara has wanted to ride a dragon for as long as she can remember, the only thing that is stopping her is her Da. Cara’s mother died while riding a dragon so Cara’s Da has strictly forbidden her to fly any dragon which is hard for Cara as she spends her days on a stud farm mucking out dragons stable’s and watching younger kids fly. Luckily there’s Sky Dancer, Cara’s favorite dragon, a golden brow, the rarest dragon breed in all the isles. Sky Dancer was found next to his dead mother and was taken in to the dragonsdale. Ever since, no rider has been able to ride him, but Cara knows she can. She knows that she could beat every dragon in the Island Championships. It’s just that she isn’t given a chance.
Then there’s Hortense, the selfish daughter of the ruler of the isles. She mistreats every dragon she rides and enjoys teasing Cara and Breena, which is why, that when she finds out that Sky Dancer is Cara’s favorite dragon she does anything in her power to get her father to buy him. Huw, Cara’s Da and the Dragonmaster of Dragonsdale, needs the money and Skydancer is just an extra dragon to feed as no one can ride him. If Hortense agrees to buy Sky Dancer, the dragon is sold. But Cara reacts before that and runs away with Sky Dancer.
Will they ever return? If they do, what will happen to Sky Dancer?
This book was an easy read but at the same time, extremely gripping. Not in the sense that you really want to know what will happen next but in a way that it enchants you. I sort of wanted to live the story while I was reading it. I would give it a 10/10 rating as the book is very nice to read as a soothing story, something to read before you go to bed.
