Here are the three Laws of Quill, carved in stone outside every town hall, and learnt by every schoolchild:
There shall be No Witches.
There shall be No Dragons.
There shall be NO SECRETS.
Ten-year-old Brim has been sent to the Quillian School for Prevention of Witches, but she''s sure it''s a mistake. It''s true that she has tiny feathers sprouting from her elbows, and that she''s the only person who remembers the odd-looking calf that has been following her. But she is most definitely Not a Witch.
Meanwhile, Queen Rose of Hallow has received reports of a secret weapon in the mountains of Quill, and goes to investigate. Alone. Luckily, she''s not just a twelve-year-old girl with red hair and a wilful nature. She is also a dragon.
Before long, Rose and Brim find themselves trapped in Quill, in the worst possible danger. Just a witch, a dragon and a LOT of secrets.
A bewitching tale of bravery, betrayal and one very forgettable horned glob, from the award-winning author of
Rita''s Revenge
and
