Publisher's summary

Once a slave girl in the village of River Away, Kale is freed when she discovers a dragon's egg. She is given the unexpected opportunity to journey to the great walled city of Vendala to become a servant to Paladin. Yet this young girl has much to learn about the difference between slavery and service.

A Desperate Search Begins...

A small band of Paladin's servants rescue Kale from danger but turn her from her destination: The Hall, where she was to be trained as a dragon-keeper. Feeling afraid and unprepared, Kale embarks on a perilous quest to find the meech dragon egg stolen by the foul wizard Risto. First, she and her comrades must find Wizard Fenworth. But their journey is threatened when a key member of the party is captured, leaving the remaining companions to find Fenworth, attempt an impossible rescue, and recover the egg whose true value they have not begun to suspect...

Weaving together memorable characters, daring adventure, and a core of eternal truth, Dragonspell is a finely crafted and welcome addition to the corpus of fantasy fiction.

Enjoyable Harry Potter like world with a Christian World View

I picked this up looking for a good adventure for my girls and was pleasantly surprised by the life lessons the main character grapples with. Nice Christian allegory. Characters were nicely developed... but fell just short of the JK Rowling level of detail... but I repeat... Just short...I have already picked up book number 2

Excellent

I wasn’t too sure about this book when we picked it for our family road trip. But it was wonderful. We loved the story and the narrator.
This story contains a ton of wisdom and truth. Plus it is quite a captivating tale. I will be reading more from this series for sure!

Great book for bed time

This book is very interesting. It certainly kept me hooked until the very end. The beginning was a bit confusing and there were a few anti-climatic moments but overall an excellent book.
