Fans of W A Noble's Beast-Speaker trilogy will be pleased that the series has been expanded to include a fourth book which takes the story in a truly unexpected direction. The war is long over and the children who were its victims and heroes are growing up quickly. But just when life seems to be granting them a period of peace and normality, they are called upon to find a cure for the mysterious disease eating away at the limbs and life of their city's leader. Ancient cryptic clues lead them to a far-away and long forgotten mountain enclave where Seeger encounters a very different kind of beast to anything he has seen before. Even with the timely assistance of some dragons, the outcome of this quest remains in the balance until the final pages.

“Right from the first line, ‘They came riding in on dragons’, the reader is whisked through this adventure fantasy on camels and dragons as Seeger and his friends try to find a cure to save a life. I was enthralled as the group fell into one dangerous situation to the next, trying to stay ahead of slave traders and to discover the cure in time. WA Noble’s inimitable style includes humour and wit even in the stickiest of situations. And all characters, even the animals and Joffrey the raven, are large as life and so well drawn I found myself talking to them in my mind. This is a riveting read from WA Noble who can write a fourth book in a series as if it were the first!”
