Alia Stevenson has always dreaded the day she'd become chief of Croise, and now that her father has returned she thinks she is saved. But nevertheless James keeps trying to help his daughter get used to the role of leadership and taking responsibility for her people. But when disaster falls and a whole new threat appears Alia is forced to take her stand, and face her fears to protect those she loves. P.S. you have to read the one before to understand what's going on. Characters and dragons (except those from the Nine Islands) are used from Dean Deblois's and Caressida Cowell's How to Train Your Dragon.
