The Sacred Scales

Dragons of Camelot, Book 1

By: Bryan Davis

Narrated by: Paul Mclaughlin

A middle grade faith-building fantasy adventure from the bestselling Dragons in Our Midst story world.

In King Arthur’s Camelot where dragons are outlawed, a poor apprentice boy and a dragon-raised orphan girl unravel an evil plot to exterminate dragons from this world and the next.

Hawk spends his days trying to survive as a lowly apprentice in the harsh employ of Master Andrew―a sly shopkeeper making illegal bargains with dragons. But when Master Andrew is hired by Lady Morgan to cheat the dragon Clefspeare out of his promised gemstone payment, Hawk’s faith in God spurs him to action.

Sabina hasn’t had contact with humans in years, not since the kind-hearted dragon Legossi rescued her from the ruins of her burned village. But the forest is no place for a young girl to come of age, so Legossi agrees to have a knight take Sabina to Lady Morgan’s estate. Yet Sabina quickly realizes Lady Morgan has a sinister scheme to wipe out dragons in this realm and beyond. Can Hawk and Sabina warn the dragons and foil Lady Morgan’s plans before it’s too late?

Awesome story with a Christian message

Loved the characters in this book, and the message of receiving Christ was clear. The narrator overall was very good, but at times his accents and his voices for the different characters seemed somewhat forced and a bit overdone. Overall, though, the story is absolutely awesome, and I cannot wait to read the next book whenever it becomes available. Please write the next book soon! I can’t wait to hear what happens next in the adventure of hawk and Sabina and all the good dragons of Camelot.
