Garrodigh is a four-headed dragon with only three heads left. The fourth got blown off by an enemy cannonball. Centrehead wants to rain fire on all humanity, Bottomhead is not a thinker. Free food and a few scritches will cheer him up. Upperhead thinks he’s human. Garrodigh, pretending to be a tame dragon, sneaks into a human dragon rider academy in search of some free food and a place to sleep for a few days. He’s surprised to find that the humans fix his busted foot and salve his torn wings… but he still wants to kill them all. And then Rania turns up. She’s desperate for a dragon and is prepared to overlook Garrodigh’s quirks.
You can see where this is going, but the beauty of it is the journey. The three dragon heads have distinct personalities. Centrehead tries to keep his three personalities together. This took a tiny bit of getting into at first but the dragon's journey was engrossing, quirky and charming. Highly recommended.
