IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS NO SAINT GEORGE! When Rimsey Stolworth is chosen to the annual sacrifice to appease the village dragon, she knows that there's no one coming to help her. The only things that will keep her from the dragon's belly are her own courage, wit, and a book about dragons. For most people, that would be a death sentence. For Rimsey, it's the start of a career. Dragon Slayer: The Complete Chronicles is made up of 13 linked short stories. Full of action and adventure, they follow Rimsey as she learns to kill the most dangerous predators ever - dragons!

Dragons are rising... and behind the beasts is a sinister group, led by the will of their ancestors, waiting for centuries, until the time to rise. The four Dragon Lords lurk in shadow and mystery, guiding events to bring about their rise to power and the domination of the known world. Their power grows with each passing day. The terror of their vicious beasts fills every land with fear and darkness. But behind the scenes, carefully hidden, an unlikely group of brave souls rises as well. Their aim: to destroy the Dragon Lords and their fearsome beasts before every land is subjected to their evil. Led by a young man haunted by a childhood encounter with a great red dragon, each of them is destined to discover that danger not only rises from the Dragon Masters, but also from their own sordid pasts. They know the danger. But they also know what will happen to their families and the land they love if the evil of the Dragon Lords is not stopped. FROM THE AUTHOR: These books come from stories I told to my older three kids when they were small. Bedtime, road trips, and many other times I remember hearing kids ask, "Dad, can you tell us a Hon story?" I did... and they finally convinced me to put them into book form, although these stories are much more than they heard in our bedtime tales. I'm a retired pastor, turned author and internet entrepreneur. I love my Lord, my family, and my life. I'd love to get to know you, too.

As magic fades from the world, 15-year-old Jennifer Strange is having trouble keeping her magician employment agency business afloat, until she begins having visions that foretell the death of the last dragon and the coming of Big Magic.

"You must go to the dragon. You must leave tonight." Before she even hears the words, Kaeldra already knows what she must do. She must search out the mother dragon whose draclings have just hatched and somehow get some of her precious milk. It's the only way to save her foster-sister's life. Kaeldra would rather not go. It's much too terriffying, much too dangerous. But Kaeldra knows that she's the only one who can do it. For she is the only one who can actually communicate with dragons. But little does Kaeldra know what she's getting into. She's about to begin a journey that will entwine her fate with that of three little draclings and one would-be dragonslayer. A journey the will become a struggle for life.

International bestselling author Fforde invites fans to return to the witty, wizardly world of the Chronicles of Kazam with the fabulous follow-up to "The Last Dragonslayer."

The final instalment of the Last Dragonslayer Chronicles, demonstrating that with a small band of committed followers, a large tin of resolve and steely determination, almost anything can be achieved . . . Sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange and her sidekick and fellow Orphan Tiger Prawns have been driven to the tip of the UnUnited Kingdoms - Cornwall - by the invasion of the Trolls. Their one defence is a six-foot-wide trench full of buttons, something which the Trolls find unaccountably terrifying (it's their clickiness). Worse than being eaten by Trolls is the prospect of the Mighty Shandar requisitioning the Quarkbeast and using him to achieve supreme power and domination - an ambition that has been four hundred years in the planning and which will ultimately leave the Earth a cold cinder, devoid of all life. Nothing has ever looked so bleak, but Jennifer, assisted by a renegade vegan Troll, a bunch of misfit sorcerers, the Princess (or is she now the ruler?) of the UnUnited (or are they now United?) Kingdoms, and Tiger, must find a way to vanquish the most powerful wizard the world has ever seen, and along the way discover the truth about her parents, herself, and what is in the locked glovebox of her VW Beetle . . .

Who was the man in the vision? Could he possibly be the legendary Dragon Slayer, whose coming the ancient prophets foretold long ago? As an evil empire gathers strength and dragons wake, time is running out. A secret order of knights searches for the Dragon Slayer to prepare him for his destiny. Meanwhile, dozens of slaves march across a scorching desert. One of them has a secret that may shed light on who the Dragon Slayer is-the same man the knights are searching for. This slave tells of two boys from warring nations who befriend each other after a peace treaty is signed. Even though Amaran is a commoner and Rallden is a prince, they become like brothers, and grow up together alongside the future princess Elle. But when tensions erupt between the enemy kingdoms, their friendship is put to the test-especially when Amaran falls in love with Elle, who is promised to Rallden. Amaran is torn between his duty to his own kingdom and his love for Elle, but the danger that finds him then is nothing but a stepping stone to his true destiny-a destiny that brings an ancient legend to the forefront of a battle between good and evil.
