The Story of Owen
Dragon Slayer of Trondheim, Book 1
e.k. Johnston
Fiction J642s
Listen!
For I sing of
Owen Thorskard: valiant of heart, hopeless at algebra, last in a long
line of legendary dragon slayers. Though he had few years and was not
built for football, he stood between the town of Trondheim and creatures
that threatened its survival. There have always been dragons. As far
back as history is told, men and women have fought them, loyally
defending their villages. Dragon slaying was a proud tradition. But
dragons and humans have one thing in common: an insatiable appetite for
fossil fuels. From the moment Henry Ford hired his first dragon slayer,
no small town was safe. Dragon slayers flocked to cities, leaving more
remote areas unprotected. Such was Trondheim's fate until Owen Thorskard
arrived. At sixteen, with dragons advancing and his grades plummeting,
Owen faced impossible odds armed only with a sword, his legacy, and the
classmate who agreed to be his bard.

alone know the story of Owen, the story that changes everything. Listen!
