are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the book, such as press releases, the author or publisher's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Premise

The series is set in the fictional medieval realm of Bracken. An eight-year-old farm boy named Drake is taken to King Roland’s castle after a magical artifact known as the Dragon Stone chooses him to be a "Dragon Master".

Drake joins a group of other young Dragon Masters under the tutelage of the castle wizard, Griffith. Each child is paired with a distinct elemental dragon with unique magical abilities. The children learn to telepathically bond with their dragons, train them, and defend the kingdom from the dark wizard, Maldred.
