A young man, Simon St. George, has spent his life thinking of himself as an orphan until his father comes to the private school and claims him. His father reveals he and Simon come from a long line of dragon slayers. Simon thinks his so-called father is nuts. Together they go on an adventure unlike any other.

The book opens up with Simon meeting his father for the first time so of course, the relationship is estranged. Simon's father believes he fights dragons. Although Simon believes his father is crazy because how could dragons be real? But Simon will soon realize that his father is not crazy as they deal with dragons, magic, and so much more. I enjoyed the way dragons were modernized. Regular people who couldn't see magic only saw a regular person but those that were more magically inclined saw the dragon for what he was, an evil being that wanted power.

I can't think of anything that I didn't link about the book. there was magic there was a twist it pretty much had everything. Including a love interest for the father.

It is a series I would like to continue I know there are a couple more books in the series. I'll see if I ever get to it as I have so many books to read but this was enjoyable. The writing was good and I did like the twist at the end

Panned! This comes off as a very amateur effort. I'm surprised it got published by such a good house. It followed the rules of exposition from a textbook outline, but failed at so many points to pull it off successfully. The author hasn't got the hang of exposition by the story unfolding, so he had to stop and explain and offer background every so often. Painful to read.

Good book. A boy finds out that he's from an ancient family of dragon slayers, the descendants of Saint George.

The dragons have evolved to the point where they can blend into human society, but have retained their evil natures, their love of fire, and their taste for humans.
