Searching for the mythical Rim of Heaven, a place where dragons can be safe forever, Firedrake and Sorrel get assistance from the most unexpected source--an orphan boy named Ben--while battling against an evil dragon hunter bent on their destruction, in a collector's edition which includes an illustrated prequel, letter from the author, dragon lore, and more.
Published before THE THIEF LORD in Germany, DRAGON RIDER established Cornelia Funke as a bestselling and critically acclaimed author. Now, this fantastical epic has come to America!
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.
