Joined by Ben, a runaway boy, they embark on a perilous journey, pursued by the fearsome Nettlebrand. As they navigate magical lands and encounter wondrous creatures, they must outwit their relentless hunter. Will they find sanctuary, or is their quest doomed? Discover a tale of courage, friendship, and the search for a hidden destiny.

From the publisher

Firedrake, a young dragon, receives a frightening warning one night: Humans are planning to destroy the valley in which he lives! All the dragons must flee. Their only refuge is a place above the clouds called the Rim of Heaven — which may not even exist. Firedrake boldly volunteers to go ahead first. As he embarks on his journey, he meets Ben, a runaway boy. Together, the boy & dragon make their way toward the Rim of Heaven, all the while running a step ahead of Nettlebrand, a monster who will stop at nothing to hunt down Firedrake. Their quest will truly become an adventure like no other. CORNELIA FUNKE is Germany’s bestselling children’s author after J.K. Rowling and R.L. Stine.
