This was a thoroughly enjoyable coming of age fantasy tale. Will is a lovable character with a good soul who fights for his family, and his journey with Tristan is interesting and compassionate. With dragons, a castle, heroes, villains, a mystical stone with powers, and secret adventures hidden in the shadows, this is a lovely fantasy escape that keeps you enthralled to read on. I only wish it had been longer so I could keep reading more.
