Prince Martin returns with his brotherly band to oppose ancient dragons that threaten the land!
The two dragons have slept for two thousand long years. They embody the worst of humanity’s fears. They have dreamt of destruction and fire and smoke. A new cycle begins—for the dragons just woke.
And these deadly old drakes are the nastiest sort: they incinerate cities and kill just for sport. Now they’re heading out west, these two blasts from the past. Their intentions are cruel. The die has been cast.
But a quest has begun for a shield and a spear—two long-missing marvels the two dragons fear. And the Prince and his friends join this perilous quest to discover those weapons and rescue The West. They have little idea, though, what lies in store...
When kids finish this book, they’ll come begging for more. Join the Prince, and the elf, and the wolf, and Sir Ray. There’s adventure aplenty—and dragons to slay!

Our family of 7 have loved these books. Teaching virtue comes sideways, so it’s not annoyingly preachy. It’s sweet and valorous. Well done. The rhyme took skill to make it fluid and beautiful. Thanks to all the efforts, Mr Hale!Julianne S.
My son loves these books, both the stories and the illustrations!Eric
I have only read the first book, and am waiting to give the first three to my grandson for his birthday. I think he is going to LOVE them!! He is very much into swords and calvary and the like right now. Thank you for a great book!!M O.
I love the Prince Martin series! The rhythmic words and encouraging plot are just fantastic and engaging for my young sons and for me too! Thank you!Stephen Z.
Wonderful books!!! Love reading them to my grandchildrenJohn H.
My son loves the Prince Martin books, he finishes them in 1–2 sessions.Joel S.
Another amazing adventure! Used as a read-aloud in our homeschool reading class that I teach. The children, all age ten, loved it!Lucie
Another enjoyable Prince Martin adventure from a wonderful author. My kids enjoy Prince Martin’s adventures, and even I like to read it to them!Rachel P.
Two dragons have come to terrorize the shepherds and their sheep. In the meantime the king has been hearing rumors regarding these dastardly dragons. Their names are Mortis and Ardoris. They only awaken every 2,000 years and this is the year! The wizard tells the people gathered about some special weapons. The king orders Prince Martin, Sir Ray and friends to go find the shield and silvery spear. Who else do the two enlist? BTW Sir Ray is not who you might imagine. He is a dog! The two dragons are filled with evil intent with never any remorse. It is time to end their rampaging but will Prince Martin and his crew succeed? Will Sir Ray survive his encounter with one of the dragons? This, the third book in the series, is a stand alone story but you’ll really want to start at the beginning if you have not already done so. FANTASTIC series! Written in rhyme but not set out like poetry. GREAT ending. I, as an adult, have read this entire fantasy series and you can pass them onto your kids with no fear of them reading something they shouldn’t. Chivalry is not dead. Thanks, LizRichard L.
I liked that Prince Martin stopped all the dragons! Sir Ray was a really good friend and surprised us! I learned it is good to be brave.Nancy N.
Great rhyming chapter book about courage and sacrifice. Parents of young children should read first to make sure their kids can handle the suspense. We need more stories like this that glorify doing difficult things for the good of others. This is a fun read with a great message. I’ll admit that it kept me guessing on certain points until the end! Wonderful artwork throughout. Really good book!Struggler
I truly enjoyed this book and my 4 year old son was riveted for the entire reading. It’s rare for a children’s book to be so enjoyable for the both of us. The meter is a pleasure to read aloud. This book is a standout, highly recommended!Taylor S.
As we finished the story, my son exclaimed “this is the BEST Prince Martin EVER”! He loved the excitement, danger and the bravery of the Prince, dog, wolf and elf. He could not put the book down until it was finished. Also- the vocabulary is fantastic- lost of words to learn.Susan G.
...courage and adventure, this is a series you can’t miss out on! I’m a firm believer in quality books, not just for toddlers, but also for budding readers. This is the perfect series to instill good qualities in your elementary age children while inspiring them to read! Mystery, danger, companionship and talking animals are all brought to life once again in Prince Martin and the Dragons, not to mention brightly colored illustrations that are surprisingly modern. Combined with the familiar bravery of Martin and his pals, their respectful mannerisms and courage to help those in need, and the lyrical flow of this adventure, these are sure to win over a reluctant reader (or a tired parent who has to read one more book)! We’ve read the first 2 books in the series multiple times and now the addition of dragons in this 3rd book only further solidifies my 5-year-old’s obsession with everything Prince Martin. We also have a 4 and 2 year old that love to listen in when I read these aloud as well as 2 nephews (ages 7 & 9) so it’s practically a guarantee that these will entertain for many years! We’ve only bought the Kindle versions of this series and there have been no errors in the publications. Great quality and we look forward to investing in the real books soon.Raymond B.
great story to share with your kids and makes for a fun read.Amazon C.
A wonderful book full of adventure. They went on a great quest and showed true friendship in the most dire, dangerous circumstances. We truly enjoy the rhymes, the characters, and the fantasy. My five year old and right year old give it five stars!Ronald T.
I read this to my 4 kids (ages 6–12), and this is their favorite Prince Martin story yet! Great parable ties in with great adventure, dragons, suspense, and...I won’t spoil the story! Read it for yourself, and enjoy!Kindle C.
The Prince Martin books are a rarity in our time - they unabashedly teach young boys that it is a GOOD thing to grow up to be brave, decisive, honorable men - yes, that boys can even aspire to become noble warriors! Yet, these important lessons are couched in rollicking verse that effortlessly entertains the young listeners (and introduces them to an astonishly advanced vocabulary, too). Prince Martin and the Dragon is considerably longer than the first two books, but is so compelling that it is easily read. Not to give anything away, but look for a passage that evokes Gandalf and the Balrog and is nearly as touching. And though this tale ends happily, be prepared to shed a tear or two at the final paragraph. In short, if you have a young boy in your life, make sure he has this series!Mother M.
I bought this series for my grandchildren to have good books to read during their “Pandemic Homeschooling” They are loving the adventures. Mom is loving that they have good books to read! Grandma loves that they love them!Marilyn
We all enjoy these, parents, daughters and sons, but my older son especially loves the Prince Martin books. I appreciate the values they encourage.Mandy D.
This book is exciting and it has a lot of adventure. The pictures are really good and really colorful. It’s fun to read and I recommend it to my friends!Margaret
As a nine year old boy, I like this book a lot. My favorite character is Sir Ray. What I like about him is the courage and loyalty he displays when he fights alongside Prince Martin. I really like when my dad reads this story to me. I would really like a panther, that is noble and brave in one of his next books.—— ThomasAmanda H.
My kids and I are big fans of the Prince Martin series, and book three did not disappoint. My children love playing “Prince Martin and dragons” at night with dad, quoting lines from the book. I find myself excited for read aloud time especially when Prince Martin is their request. Highly recommend this one...and the two titles that come before it!Katie W.
I read this book to my 5yo, changing some of the tricky words so that she’d understand. The rhyming is pure genius. We both enjoy the adventures of Prince Martin!Kindle C.
Prince Martin and the Dragons was a great read and perfect to read-a-loud to children with its rhyme throughout. A classic tale that draws upon the true, good and beautiful.Philip K.
I can’t wait for my grandson to read this book! I love the camaraderie and the focus on good qualities. And the line “But bravery’s not natural, it’s something we choose” - love it. Wonderful and creative writing and beautiful artwork make this book one that I will add to our collection.P. W.
My son, who is eight, and myself have loved each of the Prince Martin books - including this one. They are wonderfully and uniquely written with beautiful illustrations. My son’s favorite picture is of the black dragon. I enjoy seeing my son act out the story. We look forward to the next adventure.Robert D.
Good adventure story for elementary age kids! Teaches courage and integrity in the face of adversity.Constance H.
Every book in the Prince Martin series has been such a joy to read — for both my son and me. My four-year old son and I often will read the entire book in a single sitting, which speaks to how well the Prince Martin stories keep your attention. Prince Martin and the Dragons is packed with action and adventure and the themes of bravery, courage, and self sacrifice are easy to pick up on for kids. I considered it the most exciting of the first three books. It also reads a bit differently thay the previous books. It’s especially fluid, and there are more and shorter chapters, which I think made it a bit easier for my son to digest each scene. Also, it seemed to contain a few more pictures than the prior books, which my son especially appreciated. I can tell he’s always eagerly waiting for that next picture! It’s a great read, and like the others I highly recommend it.Melanie
My 6 and 3 year old boys loved the Prince Martin series. They are very much looking forward to more.Kindle C.
