How To Train Your Dragon Cressida Cowell Book 5

An erupting volcano and a mysterious dragon hunter turn Hiccup's world into a place of urgent danger. As he tries to understand the threat, old stories and unexpected discoveries complicate what he thinks he knows. The fifth adventure combines Cressida Cowell's comic Viking chaos with a larger sense of mystery, giving readers dragons, daring action and another challenge for a hero whose best weapon is often his imagination.
