This tale about family life, dragon-style, is escapist fun for adults. All proceeds to go to mental health charities. Castellan the Black, now better known as Casta the Grey, has led an eventful life, but these days he’s content to live alone in his mountaintop lair, fending off occasional attacks from the food and waiting to die. At least, that’s what he tells himself. Babysitting his young grandchildren is definitely not on his to do list. Sammy Jo doesn’t care that the world used to cower before Casta’s wrath. She doesn’t want barbecued knight in armour – it’s tinned food – and that’s that. Sadly, her little brother Billy Bob is more inclined to follow her lead than his grandfather’s, and what’s a grumpy old dragon to do with two such intransigent youngsters? Things go from bad to worse when he wakes up from a nap to find they’ve been hunting for more appealing treats. Organic, free-range lunch was exactly what they needed, according to a very proud Sammy Jo. He’s never seen the food so upset, and now it’s coming up the hill, armed with spears and bows, hell bent on revenge. Things go from bad to worse when he has to move in with the rest of the family. Whoever said family life was boring hasn’t lived alongside these two pesky lizards. Keeping his grandkids out of trouble might be more of a challenge than this over the mountain warrior can handle.

Feel-good dragon adventure for all ages, featuring living legend and disaster magnet, Castellan the Black... Castellan the Black, former mighty dragon warrior and recent mouldy old has-been, now resides with his daughter and that waste of hide and scales who is her mate in their cramped lair at Wyvern Peak aery. Their young family is at full stretch right now – for Emmy Lou is incubating her third egg. So instead of using his considerable draconic skills to reclaim his former lair from the dratted humans, Castellan is plunged into the middle of family life. Yet everyday chores, such as hunting for food and trimming his battle honours to provide for his young grandchildren, turn into a dangerous battle of wits with the greedy scale-sack running the aery – Overlord Wendell Bo. Try as he might, Castellan is finding it increasingly difficult to ignore the rottenness at the heart of Wyvern Peak aery. Half-starved guards, cracked walkways and overflowing drains are bad enough. But when the life of his small granddaughter is put at risk, Castellan isn’t sure that all his 721 years of experience will be enough to save her. Or himself…
