The Candlestick Dragon: Children's Fantasy Series - Paperback

by Melanie Rose Ifield (Author)

Can a 12 year old boy save an entire Kingdom?

Twelve year old Daniel Smith believes he is an ordinary boy, living in a little town where nothing exciting happens. That is, until he finds Nilofar the talking dragon; meets a wizard; and discovers a world full of swords and sorcery. Welcome to an exciting new fantasy series with action, adventure and magic for all.

THE DRAGON

Finding a candlestick with a small stone dragon wrapped around it changes Daniel's life forever. The dragon is on the hunt for the stolen Royal Sceptre from another realm called Novarmere. The Princess Rishana of Novarmere needs the Sceptre for her birthday ceremony to Bond her to Land and Throne. The ceremony is merely days away and Nilofar is in a race against time to get it back.

THE KINGDOM

The evil wizard Rullin has his own plans for the Sceptre and there is nothing he won't do to fulfil them as he follows the Sceptre's magical trail to Daniel's hometown. When Daniel and Nilofar beat him to the Sceptre, Rullin threatens Daniel - give him the Sceptre or Daniel's mother dies.

Travelling through the Gateway to lead the wizard away from his family, and losing Nilofar along the way, Daniel must warn the Queen of Novarmere that she faces the dark and dangerous magic of Rullin, but first he has to find Nilofar by travelling through the Great Forest, where magical creatures harm the unwary. When coming face to face with danger, will he run, or will he stand and fight?

Daniel discovers that doing the right thing is harder, and more perilous, than he had ever imagined.

Enter the new world of Novarmere today and meet Daniel Smith and his friend Nilofar, the fire-breathing, smoke-chuckling little dragon as their journey begins and their lives are changed dramatically as Daniel discovers his inner bravery, and helps Nilofar to save a Kingdom.
