How To Train Your Dragon Cressida Cowell Book 9

The dragon rebellion changes everything, and Hiccup must confront a world in which old certainties and familiar loyalties are beginning to break apart. A sword becomes central to a much larger struggle over who should lead and what kind of future dragons and humans can share. This ninth adventure raises the emotional stakes while retaining the inventive humour and illustrated energy that make the series so welcoming.
