For thirty-eight summers, something has been saving the southern hills from fire. And they are hunting it for it.Two years after the dragons of Saltmere were set free, a letter arrives from the far south. The hills above Porto Sella are burning, and the people blame a fire-beast seen flying in the smoke.Pell’s grandfather knows what builds walls of glass in front of a fire. So Pell, June, Dabs and five dragons set sail on the Linnet for the south: through a storm that only a dragon can hold a ship through, to a hot white town that lost its lullaby a hundred years ago.In the ruined village where his grandfather was born, Pell finds a wild black dragon who has saved the hills alone for thirty-eight years, a wary goatherd named Nico with a secret he cannot bear to tell, and a copper company that has been setting the fires all along.And deep inside a red cliff, the black dragon is guarding something he will not leave for anything in the world.The Dragon of the Burning Hills is a story about loneliness and courage, about owning up to what you have done, and about a whole community learning a song it had forgotten.
