Books with author Dugald A. Steer

Daniel and Beatrice Cook, along with their parents and their dragon chick, Torcher, are getting ready to open an orphan dragon sanctuary near Castle Drake in St. Leonard’s Forest. But then Dr. Drake brings news that several dragon members of the Society of Dragons have been attacked and it looks to be the work of the Dragonsbane Knights, a secret society of dragon killers that was thought to have been eradicated centuries ago. If Dragonsbane is resurfacing, then no dragons in Britain are safe! When Torcher is kidnapped, Daniel and Beatrice are convinced that Dragonsbane is behind it, and, with the help of the Guardian Dragon’s apprentice—an adolescent half-European, half-frost dragon named Erasmus—they race to bring Torcher home before it’s too late.

Daniel Cook and his sister, Beatrice, are thrilled to be studying dragonology with Dr. Ernest Drake―they’re even awaiting the hatching of a dragon’s egg in their care! But all is not well: there are rumors of a deadly plague affecting dragons around the world. Could dark dragonologist Alexandra Gorynytchka be behind the mysterious illness? The siblings soon discover that the secret to curing the dragons might be found in the Liber Draconis, a diary written by a wise dragon ages ago―if only they could decipher it! So they set off (with their mischievous dragon chick in tow) on the Dragon Express, riding one dragon after another in a race to bring Liber Draconis―and a cure―to Dr. Drake before it’s too late.
