Bookroo's summary
Thirteen-year-old Artos, overshadowed by his foster brothers, stumbles upon a dragon's cave. The dragon offers to teach him wisdom, transforming Artos into the Pendragon. Guided by this ancient creature, Artos embarks on a journey toward an extraordinary fate, unraveling mysteries of his past and embracing a future he never imagined. What destiny awaits the dragon's boy?
"If you are the youngest and the slightest, what else do you have of any use except imagination and curiosity?"

From the publisher
Son of the DragonThirteen-year-old Artos is not as good as swordsplay, romance, or any other knightly accomplishment as his foster brothers Cai, Bedvere, and Lancot. An orphan raised by the kindly Sir Ector, he doesn’t even know the identity for his parents. But one day, Artos stumbles into the cave of an old and lonely dragon who offers to teach him the game of wisdom. Artos accepts, and becomes the Pendragon–the son of the dragon, the dragon’s boy. And with the dragon’s guidance, Artos sets out on a journey to a remarkable destiny–one that he never dreamed could be his own.
