Simon Grace is perpetually trapped in the fishing village he's grown up in, but constantly dreams of adventure. When he spots a beast that he believes to be a dragon, which were said to have been extinct for centuries, Simon takes it as a sign to set out on his own. On his journey he encounters ravenous wild life, a kindly goblin, and a mysterious mercenary and begins to realize there's more to his seemingly simple quest that meets the eye. The Night Flyer is the first part in a planned four part young adult fantasy series.
