  "I would like to promote a new fantasy series,/…/an exciting tale that makes you hold your breath."
  Lena Engkjaer, Kristianstadsbladet

  "Åsa Ekström's illustrations/…/are a nice mixture of manga and Viking art with a touch of The Arabian Nights. The simplicity of the language, the large font and appealing layout makes this a good read-on-your-own book."
  Fia Larsson, BTJ 1 2009

  "Salmson places her hero in a time when dragons were natural and culture was a blend of medieval towns and Japanese fantasymanga. It is a blend that works well and Salmson uses the different genre and story telling techniques with dragons, chivalry, manga and fantasy in very efficient way."
  Kristin Hallberg, Svenska Dagbladet

  

Dragon Knights - a new, thrilling fantasy series for those just learning to read!

This is an exciting, easy to read story about Tam the beggar boy, who is chosen to become a dragon knight; it forms part of a new series by Jo Salmson, the author of The Return of the Almanders, and is dramatically and richly illustrated in black and white by Åsa Ekström in a Manga-inspired style.

Time is short - the new dragon must be found!
Ever since Tam returned to the palace, he and Sky have worked hard every night, trying to find the new dragon. With the help of Magister Taftar, they study all the old books and scrolls, but they have almost given up! They can’t find anything about how to find the new dragon.
Unexpectedly, Bleke, the oldest dragon, comes to their help. He remembers something which gives them a new lead. But in order to follow it, Tam and Sky must head for the city of the dragons…

Tam in the City of the Dragons is the fourth book in the series. There will be 6 titles in all in the series.
