Ruby Blessing

Crispin Scales and the Golden Pearl Ruby Blessing

Crispin Scales is the clumsiest dragon in the Realm. Unfortunate - because an ancient spell has chosen him to save the world, embedding a golden pearl in his chest to prove it. When his best friend, the Princess Marlo, is kidnapped by King Gary and his side-kick, the evil armoured dragon Lux, Crispin reluctantly teams up with the rebellious witch Chance to try and save her. All standard stuff really - except Crispin must first learn to control his magic, escape a hungry pack of bloodhounds and get past the two-headed dragon. Oh, and avoid being killed. Something he's not particularly good at... 
Crispin Scales and the Golden Pearl is the first book in a three part fantasy series for 8 to 12 year old children.
