The Sacred Scales by Bryan Davis

A middle grade faith-building fantasy adventure from the bestselling Dragons in Our Midst story world.

In King Arthur’s Camelot where dragons are outlawed, a poor apprentice boy and a dragon-raised orphan girl unravel an evil plot to exterminate dragons from this world and the next.

Hawk spends his days trying to survive as a lowly apprentice in the harsh employ of Master Andrew—a sly shopkeeper making illegal bargains with dragons. But when Master Andrew is hired by Lady Morgan to cheat the dragon Clefspeare out of his promised gemstone payment, Hawk’s faith in God spurs him to action.

Sabina hasn’t had contact with humans in years, not since the kind-hearted dragon Legossi rescued her from the ruins of her burned village. But the forest is no place for a young girl to come of age, so Legossi agrees to have a knight take Sabina to Lady Morgan’s estate. Yet Sabina quickly realizes Lady Morgan has a sinister scheme to wipe out dragons in this realm and beyond. Can Hawk and Sabina warn the dragons and foil Lady Morgan’s plans before it’s too late?

The Sacred Scales is the start to a new series, Dragons of Camelot. Faith based that puts good vs evil as its theme.

A Christian Fantasy that mixes the Arthurian legends along with strong elements of Biblical faith.  There are authentic characters, nice world building and a plot that was intricately woven...plus it has dragons. Following along with Hawk and Sabrina on this journey to protect the dragons was a story of courage and friendship.  I'm looking forward to the next book in series, yes that door is open for a sequel.

This is my first time reading a Bryan Davis book,  I've been eyeing them in our church library though.  I requested as soon as I saw this on offer on Netgalley.  A Christian fantasy that fits right along side of Narnia and geared for middle grade readers.  I am much older then that and quite enjoyed the ride and can't wait to introduce my grandsons to this book.

My thanks to Tyndale House for a digital arc in exchange for a honest review.
