Three accidental heroes encounter one legendary villain in an epic dragon-filled adventure just right for young fans of Terry Pratchett, J.R.R. Tolkien, and How to Train Your Dragon!
13-year old piper Patch Brightwater is a boy in disgrace. Thrown in jail for playing a forbidden spell, he is no one’s idea of a hero. But then he discovers a deadly truth – the evil Piper of Hamelyn is on the loose.
With the help of Wren, a girl cursed to live as a rat, and Barver, a
fire-breathing dracogriff, Patch must stop the Piper from sparking the biggest
battle of them all.
S.A. Patrick’s debut children’s novel is a vivid retelling of one of the
darkest legends of all time – the Piper of Hamelyn. Combining fairy tale lore
with the very best of modern storytelling and empowerment, A Darkening of
Dragons takes fantasy fans on a journey filled with adventure, magic, and the
delight of finding friends in unexpected places. Perfect for fans of The
Hobbit, Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books, and How to Train Your Dragon.
A Carnegie Medal nominee.
My Review 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 A delightful retelling of the Pied Piper with incredible twists. Middle grade fantasy retelling at it's best. S.A. Patrick spins a tale that will have you in it's grips until the very last page. The writing style is easy to read and follow along, but yet it's not juvenile, making it a great story for any age. The characters are truly unforgettable. Patch, Wren & Barver all compliment each other so well. My favorite has to be Wren, she's such a smart little rat (well Princess cursed to live as a rat). The Author expertly adds layers of plot that weave they seamlessly. The pacing for me was fast and steady. This is my first look into S.A. Patrick's work and I'll definitely be watching for more. Huge thanks to Rock Star Book Tours, Peachtree Publishing and S.A. Patrick for my gifted copy.
