Fennec Swordtail is Battle School's top duelist but a magical dud, thanks to his chatty but disastrous new totem, Cauda Draconis. So when hostile dragons barge into Battle School's secret trial grounds, intent on swiping first prize, Fennec is the last dragon anyone would pick to stop them. And they must be stopped. For the enemy's true target is not just a champion's title... With the country's fate thrust upon the wings of junior dragons who seem completely outmatched by their cunning opponents, the class needs a miracle. All they've got is Fennec Swordtail and his moody, possibly cursed totem. Unlocking Cauda's power could be the key to saving the realm-or the biggest disaster of all.
