The first time a hunter came for him, Bradley Nash was only nine years old. That was three years ago, and he barely escaped.
Now, he lives with his family in a Florida trailer park. He doesn't remember the attack, doesn't know anything about hunters, or dragons, or even magic. All he knows is that he suffers from a crippling fear of strangers. He sits in the back of his classes and keeps to himself, always worried that an anxiety attack may strike.
As his twelfth birthday approaches, however, he discovers that dragons, magic, and hunters are all real, and that he and his family are in more danger than he could possibly have imagined.
The hunters are coming and his world will never be the same.

"...fresh mythical depictions of dragons and fairies (fae) weave their magic on the mind in an enchanting, page-turning way. Intertwined concepts such as facing fears, growing up, and fitting in are well-suited to the intended audience and allow the reader to relate and connect well with Bradley. The story is carefully plotted with an intensity that builds and unfolds with talented pacing." - The Children's Book Review
"Despite its magical elements, Bradley's quest matches well with every adolescent's need for self-understanding, coming to terms with their family, and finding a life path. His leap into maturity is especially well handled: The odyssey is both suspenseful and deeply moving."

"Magic, mystery, family secrets, and danger abound in this fast-paced, coming-of-age fantasy novel-the third book by author Patrick Matthews centered around dragons. The novel teems with drama from the first page, and readers will be swept up by intrigue and action." - Children's Book Review
