13-year-old Ellie Goulding has quite a lot going on in her life. She watched her aunt die right in front of her, she can turn into a fox (without her own consent,) she has a huge crush on one of her best friends, and ...she knows a dragon? It started during a quiet night, when Ellie heard the most mighty roar she had ever heard. Then there was the field trip to London, where she heard voices in the forest, and saw a large shadow. Then there was the song and the fountain with the words "Dedicated to Dragonscale on it." Then there was the hidden lair in the woods. She was on a walk with her friend Adam in the deepest woods of Lyonshall, then they fell through a trap door and discovered the lair of Dragonscale.
