Bookroo's summary

In the kingdom of Selona, young Konrad, a cobbler's son, steps up to a daunting challenge: defeat the fierce creatures threatening his homeland. As he battles a yeti, vampire, gorgon, and phoenix, the ultimate test looms—a dragon. With wit and courage, Konrad must rise to become the first Dragon Slayer. Can he protect Selona from its greatest peril? This tale of valor and destiny unfolds with stunning illustrations, inviting readers into a world where magic and bravery collide.

From the publisher

The beautifully illustrated edition of the origin story of Dragonwatch–the #1 New York Times best-selling series–is an extraordinary collaboration between writer Brandon Mull and series illustrator Brandon Dorman. This exclusive volume also features a never-before-published dragon slayer genealogy, a detailed map of the Kingdom of Selona, and more than fifty full-color illustrations. In ancient times dragons were the ultimate threat to the rest of the mythical world. At the height of the Age of Dragons, it appeared that dragons might not only gain dominion over the magical races, but could potentially overrun the nonmagical world as well. A group of specially-trained dragon slayers called Dragonwatch banded together to stand against the dragons. Together, these dragon slayers confined the majority of them to dragon sanctuaries. Legend of the Dragon Slayer is the illustrated story of the very first dragon slayer who took to battle. This epic legend comes to life with imaginatively rendered full-color illustrations. Powerful monsters have surrounded the Kingdom of Selona. A naïve and unlikely hero named Konrad, the cobbler’s son, accepts the king’s challenge to defeat the monsters: fierce yeti, a merciless vampire, a dangerous gorgon, and a deadly phoenix. Even still, Selona’s biggest threat will come from the Dragon, and it will take every ounce of wit and experience that Konrad’s acquired to stand a chance against such a formidable foe. Legend of the Dragon Slayer is a stand-alone tale of valor, destiny, and magic sure to reward fantasy lovers.
