A dragon is missing. A Beast stalks the Dales. And the hunters are coming...

DI Adams’ missing person case takes a strange turn when she discovers the missing “person” is actually Gilbert — a young dragon in danger.

The Toot Hansell Women's Institute and the Cloverly dragons are determined to save him, but they aren’t the only ones searching. All roads lead to the town of Eldmere, including a swarm of monster hunters — and some are far more dangerous than others.

With cryptid chasers closing in and dark secrets lurking in the village, DI Adams must find Gilbert before the hunters do — because someone out there isn’t just looking for dragons.

They want to finish them.
