The Dragonnade — Rob Franklin

Sir Randolph's forest has many faces. And they're not all changing for the better. Today Randolph and the other members of the council of Roxford will discover why. But whose blood will yet flow for the sake of liberty? Will the innate desire for freedom be enough to turn peace-loving red squirrels into warriors? Will they discover the traitor in their midst before it is too late? Will their own character shine forth as refined and precious jewels, or will they too, be found wanting? Across the border the gray squirrel dictator makes plans to profit from Roxford's abundance by whatever means necessary. And he's hired crows. Now Roxford finds itself struggling for its very survival while forging a state of its own. Sir Randolph and the governor, Rafael, will confront the tyrant of Gray Forest and the dark peril, MythMahada, before their fight to preserve their way of life is through. Follow Sir Randolph and the rest of the red squirrels as they embark on the quest of a lifetime and become Acorn Warriors. In the first installment of Rob Franklin's antic series, it isn't just adventure, it's life.
