Time has passed since Kenny Rabbits last adventure with his best friend, the legendary dragon Grahame, and a lot has changed in the sleepy village of Roundbrook.
For starters, Kenny has a whole litter of baby sisters. His friends are at different schools and Sir George is off adventuring.
At least Kenny still has his very best friend, Grahame. Thats before Dante arrives. Dante is a legendary manticore and an old friend of Grahames. Old friends spend a lot of time catching up. And that catching up does not involve Kenny.
