Night of the Dream Dragon: A Branches Book (Dragon Masters #28)
#28 in Dragon Masters Series
What’s inside...
In this 28th installment of Tracey West’s Dragon Masters series, Drake and the other Dragon Masters are startled awake by terrible nightmares. The evil Shadow Queen has sent Hypnos, the Dream Dragon, to invade their sleep and steal their courage. To stop her, the young heroes must journey into a shifting dream realm, locate the imprisoned Dream Dragon, and teach it to use its powers for good before the Shadow Queen turns dreams into their worst fears. Medieval-style castles, magical caves, and a surreal dreamscape all set the stage for a fast-paced adventure that emphasizes teamwork, bravery, and the power of facing one’s fears.
