In this fourth installment of the award-winning Three Thieves graphic novel series, Captain Drake remembers his dark past as a young knight in the service of King Roderick. Long-ago intrigues may hold clues that will help Drake capture the three thieves — and could spell the end of Dessa’s quest to find her long-lost twin brother.
The Three Thieves series follows Dessa, Topper and Fisk — circus performers on the lam after trying to rob the royal treasury. But the thieves are also on a quest of their own: they are searching for Dessa’s twin brother, abducted years earlier by the Queen’s chamberlain, Greyfalcon. Readers will love the slapstick comedy and cinematic feel of these fast-paced fantasy adventure graphic novels.
Scott Chantler is an award-winning cartoonist and commercial illustrator. He lives in Waterloo, Ontario.
Just a quick side jaunt in the journey, but it's a diversion that adds further depth to a particularly well-wrought tale. - Kirkus Reviews
The King's Dragon is well-written and well-illustrated, and it does an excellent job of adding depth to an already enthralling story. This book will leave readers waiting eagerly for the next instalment. - CM Magazine
Chantler;s cartooning remains sharp, lively and inviting, and his eye for rousing action sequences is top notch. But it's his skill as a writer that shines through, as he creates a riveting character study of a complicated, difficult, noble and conflicted man, the likes of which one seldom sees in genre graphic novels for this age group. - Booklist
