Another instalment in the Dragon Orb chronicles. In this volume we meet Pell and his night dragon Shadow whose task is to find the dark orb. If they succeed, they can help save the Oracle, leader of all dragonkind.
Standing in their way is Pell's belief in his invulnerability. Is he making the right choices to go it alone, leaving his companions behind. And what of Segun, leader of the night dragons? Is he all that he seems?
For Pell it is a time of learning before he faces the final test in which his skills, bravery and resourcefulness will be pushed to the utmost limit with his own life at stake. Can he survive and succeed?
A fast paced fantasy which will appeal to any teenager. Well written, with believable characters both human and dragon. I look forward to the next volumes in the series. Robson is very inventive in his challenges and shows a good understanding of how youngsters minds work.
