An all-consuming story of revenge, redemption and dragons from the twice Carnegie Medal-winner Patrick Ness.
-On a cold Sunday evening in early 1957, Sarah Dewhurst waited with her father in the parking lot of the Chevron Gas Station for the dragon he-d hired to help on the farm.-
This dragon, Kazimir, has more to him than meets the eye. Sarah can-t help but be curious about him, an animal who supposedly doesn-t have a soul but is seemingly intent on keeping her safe from the brutal attentions of Deputy Sheriff Emmett Kelby.
Kazimir knows something she doesn-t. He has arrived at the farm because of a prophecy. A prophecy that involves a deadly assassin, a cult of dragon worshippers, two FBI agents - and somehow, Sarah Dewhurst herself.
From the bestselling author of the Chaos Walking trilogy comes a heart-stopping story of fanaticism, hope, bravery and impossible second chances, set in a world on the very brink of its own destruction.<
