Thank youuuuuu!!!!

This book is OUTSTANDING!!!

I hope you're happy @struan-murray.bsky.social! My 9 year old is bereft having finished Dragonborn because the next instalment isn't out yet! He adores it and now can't choose his next book, as he thinks nothing will compare! 😂 How long until he can get his hands on part two?!

Hahahaha, I apologise for NOTHING!
so glad he enjoyed it!

Dragonborn by Struan Murray The Book in Rhyme… “Now we all remember dragon books of old, Where the same dragon stories continue to be told. Stories of beasts both monstrous and frightening, Breathing the hottest o…

The brilliant DragonBorn by @struan-murray.bsky.social is compelling, jawdropping and thoroughly original! This is not a dragon story of old, no taming or riding-Alex Evans our heroine does not breed dragons-she IS the dragon! @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2025/05/26/d...

Lovely Bookpost from @foxlanebooks.bsky.social

Thank you Noah!!

Oh Rhoda that's so lovely to hear! I'm so glad children are still enjoying OotT!

Simon thank you so much, you're the best! (P.s. hope you've managed to sneak in some time with oblivion!)

This is an absolute stunner. Top drawer fiction. Brilliant world building, great characters, fantastic plot and story and stunning twists and turns. A must read.

Dragonborn is out TODAY! Soaring off to bookshops across the country and into the hands of young readers. It is, I think, the very best book I've written, and I'm so excited to see it fly. Farewell little dragon, safe travels! X

I absolutely CANNOT wait until I can play this 😭

Only 8 days until Dragonborn hits the shelves! Here are some of the lovely things that people have said about it - thanks so much to those who've taken the time to write reviews, it really really helps! 🐉

Talking about books always cheers me up so what’s one of the best books you’ve read so far this year? Some of my top reads of 2025 are:
• Dragonborn by @struan-murray.bsky.social (coming out soon!)
• Kala
• A Court of Mist + Fury
• I Who Have Never Known Men
• Just for the Summer
• The Nightingale

Just two weeks until Dragonborn flies into bookshops(!), so I thought I'd share a few of the lovely things that lovely authors have said about it. 🐉

Thank you Laura!!! So glad you enjoyed it ☺️

I've been very busy so it's taken longer than I'd like to finish this. The first of a new series by @struan-murray.bsky.social and it is BRILLIANT! Not long to wait until it's out on 1st May. Pre-order it now!

That's lovely to hear Simon, thanks so much!!

Ah, Simon - thank you so much, this has really made my day. So glad you liked it!

Started reading this ages ago but then had “The Call.” Finally got back to it and WOW!

“Dragonborn” by @struan-murray.bsky.social is an utterly fantastic start to a new series. Loved the hidden world next to ours. Truly epic story-telling and Struan is the master of the “what!?!” twist. Loved it!

Sometimes people ask about my creative process

Attention all lovers of sprayed edges! Waterstones are in fact doing a fancy exclusive edition of DRAGONBORN, complete with sprayed edges! Pre-order here: tinyurl.com/2jfprwev 🔥

(Also only one month until the book comes out!)

Astonishingly good, #Dragonborn by @struan-murray.bsky.social is everything I wanted it to be - fantastical, with fabulous world building and an incredible protagonist. Out 01/05, have no doubt that this will be on many readers' Best of 2025 lists @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social 🐲

Book wrapped in paper with a scale-like pattern on it.

The book, its press release and a map of the fictional island of Skralla. The book’s cover shows a cross-looking girl with her hair waving in the wind standing in front of a dragon with glowing golden eyes.

Even if it hadn’t arrived wrapped up like a present, I’d’ve been thrilled to receive a proof of #Dragonborn by @struan-murray.bsky.social, one of my most-anticipated reads of the year. Out 01/05, the most enormous thanks go to Katy @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social 🐲
