A Keeper’s Tale: The Story of Tomkin and the Dragon – JA Andrews


A Keeper’s Tale: The Story of Tomkin and the Dragon by JA Andrews

Tomkin Thornhewn, youngest son of the Duke of Marshwell, has a problem: he’s not heroic.

Regardless of his aspirations, the bookish, untrained young man is better suited to recording the deeds of heroes than being one himself.

Which becomes an obvious problem when he finds himself clinging to a ledge above a sleeping dragon. And instead of wielding his family’s great sword with valor and skill, he drops it—onto the dragon.

The problem grows immeasurably worse when Tomkin himself falls off the ledge—also onto the dragon.

And his problem reaches its peak when Tomkin, after being captured, discovers a maiden locked in a tower. But this is no sweet damsel. Not only does she refuse to be rescued, she refuses to even admit she’s in distress.

It’s too bad for the people of Marshwell that Tomkin is the only thing standing – or falling – in the dragon’s way.

JA Andrews introduced the world to the magic-wielding, world-saving, story-telling Keepers in A Threat of Shadows. Now you can enjoy one of the Keeper’s most beloved tales: The Story of Tomkin and the Dragon, in this engaging, lighthearted novel.

This is a short novel in the world of the Keeper Chronicles, and is a story told by the Keepers. It’s a lighter, more young adult story than A Threat of Shadows, and every bit as enjoyable. The cover is gorgeous.This book review originally appeared on C. J. Brightley’s blog.
