New paperback edition of the fourth book in the internationally bestselling and award-winning Dragonkeeper series.

The year is 325. The powerful Han Dynasty is a distant memory and tribes of barbarian soldiers fight over what was once the Empire. It is a dangerous time. Kai is a teenager in dragon years. His search for the person destined to be his dragonkeeper has led him to a Buddhist novice named Tao. But Tao is certain he is not the one; he has no interest in caring for a difficult dragon. Tao must listen to the voice within himself and learn that no journey ever reveals its true purpose until it is over.

Reviews for Blood Brothers (#4 Dragonkeeper)

Wilkinson writes with elegant simplicity and her take acquires the force of fable. Its appeal is broad: complex enough for adults yet accessible to younger readers. * The Age * Wilkinson's simple style underpins a depth of characterisation, understanding and moral growth... Kai and the dragons remain awe-inspiring in their beauty, comforting in their wisdom and breath-taking in their ferocity. * Magpies *
