Dragonkeeper

By: Carole Wilkinson

Narrated by: Caroline Lee

Ancient China, Han Dynasty. A slave girl saves the life of an ageing dragon and escapes her brutal master. Pursued by a ruthless dragon hunter, the girl and the dragon make an epic journey across China carrying a mysterious stone that must be protected.

This is the story of a young slave girl who believes she is not worthy of a name but finds within herself the strength and courage to make this perilous journey — and do what must be done.

Now an animated feature film starring Bill Nighy.

Critic reviews

'… an ambitious novel, marrying ancient Chinese history and culture with magic and fantasy … the sights, smells and tastes of this fantastic ancient China are fully realised.' (Bookseller + Publisher)

Better than movie

I watched the movie first. It led me to this wonderful series that is engaging for all ages.

Real good story.

Love this story it’s what got me into reading when I was younger. Even as any adult I still love is book.

Dragonkeeper Series is an absolute gem!

My son is fascinated with dragons and what better that a series that revolves around a girl's relationship with a dragon? Both my children ages 10 and 12 fell in love with this story and could not wait to get into the car to listen to the next instalment. They loved it so much that we listened to the second and third book immediately afterwards. A must-listen to audible for anyone with children!

A sweet adventure

Surprisingly this book captivates you in its sweetness, interesting story and characters. Very good narration.

Wonderful books for 4th graders - Adults

The Narrator was very good but I wish it was an Asian narrator instead.
