Bookroo's summary

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III faces his greatest challenge yet as a dragon rebellion sweeps the Archipelago. With vicious dragons targeting him, Hiccup must gather the King's Lost Things to become the savior they need. Armed with only a sword, he must outsmart a witch, confront his nemesis, and fend off a dragon army. Can this unlikely hero rise to the occasion and save his people from doom?

From the publisher

misadventures of Viking underdog Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and his dragon, Toothless. In Book 9, a dragon rebellion is coming–filled with the meanest, nastiest dragons in the Archipelago. Razor-wings, Tonguetwisters, and Vampire Ghouldeaths are attacking Vikings and seem to be seeking one soul in particular: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third! Only a King can save them…and only a champion with all of the King’s Lost Things can be King. In his adventures, Hiccup has collected quite a few things himself. But can a scrawny Viking save the entire Archipelago from certain doom? To find out, Hiccup will have to outwit a witch, fight his arch-enemy, and beat back an army of bloodthirsty dragons with just one sword.
