Product Description

Review

'a rollercoaster of an adventure'

(The Book Bag )

'an action packed, gripping adventure story bringing the world of fantasy directly to a young female readership. Kate O'Hearn is perhaps the Anne McAffrey for the twenty-first century.'

(School Librarian )

'... packed with action'

(Carousel )

Product Description
Under no circumstances are girls EVER to be allowed anywhere near dragons.  THE PENALTY FOR ANY GIRL CAUGHT BREAKING THE FIRST LAW IS DEATH.  

Kira is twelve, and strong willed. The daughter of a retired dragon knight, she yearns for adventure and dreams of following in her father's footsteps astride her own magnificent mount. But this can never happen. According to the 'stupid laws' of the kingdom, she must be married by thirteen.

Kira hates it, but being a girl she has no choice. Then Lord Dorcon arrives, in a whirl of destruction and fire and Kira knows the real fight is just beginning. To stand a chance of seeing her family again, and to protect the life of her younger sister, she will need every bit of willpower she can find. Let the battle commence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant!, 17 Mar 2008
Admittedly, this book was written for young adults, but if you want a gripping read then try it. This debut novel by a very talented author will have you under it's spell from the very first page. The characters are refreshingly realistic, from Kira, the brave young heroine to Dane, and Paradon, the loveable wizard whose spells have a terrible habit of going awfully wrong. Not forgetting, of course, Ferarchy, the rogue dragon and Jinx, his loveable offspring.There's Elspeth,with her gift of being able to communicate with animals, and the dragon knights. Evil Lord Dorcan, in fact, everything you could wish for for a truly enchanting read! Boys, girls, and adults alike are certain to enjoy this enthralling novel. If one had to sum this book up in one word, it would have to be 'magic!'I can't wait to read the sequel. Keep it up, Ms O'Hearn!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable, 29 Mar 2008
I thought this book was fantastic. I wish I could have been on this adventure as I would of loved to have met all the characters that Kira and Elspeth met. Shadow of a Dragon is very well written and is one of the best books I have read and I read a lot. I can't wait to read the next book. This is a great read for both girls, boys and adults as there are heroines, heroes, dragons, castles, knights and magic and loads more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical, 25 May 2009

This Book is full of suspense and it is hard to put the book down. Kate O'Hearn puts the reader into the book and is a fantastic writer. It is about a magical world with dragons and wizards with a young girl called Kira who dosen't believe that the world she is living in is fair. It is ruled by a King who is frightened -but why?
Kira unlocks the Kings secrets and plots against him.
This Book is a must-read.
