Maggie lives in a faraway land called Grimwold. She spends her days exploring the forest, and one day she discovers a deep cave. The cave in itself is frightening, but when she hears a deep grumble, her adventure turns terrifying. Maggie learns that the sound is coming from a massive golden-scaled dragon. At first, she is terrified. The dragon stands twenty feet tall. He has long, sharp claws and wide, leathery wings. In time, Maggie and the Dragon become the closest of friends. She returns home to the cottage she and her family live in and learns that her cousins, the princes of Nottingham, Walker and Burke, have been taken to work with several other enslaved children to create the evil King Vader's weapons of destruction. What can she do? She enlists her friend Gerry the Dragon; together, they must rescue her cousins and free the taken children. Maggie and Gerry will battle the wind and the cold. They face hunger and fight beasts that fear no dragon. The final test will be to travel deep into the King's castle to face the powerful King Vader and his dark magic. Our heroes are guided by an ancient magic map... They must do this all before the captive children perish in the King's dungeons. It is a race against time; a battle of good against evil. Will Maggie and Gerry win? The fate of her cousins and of the captured children rests on the battle held within this book's pages .
