Read the book that inspired the hit DreamWorks film How to Train Your Dragon 3. THE STORY BEGINS in the first volume of Hiccup's How to Train Your Dragon memoirs... Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was an awesome sword-fighter, a dragon-whisperer and the greatest Viking Hero who ever lived. But it wasn't always like that. In fact, in the beginning, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was the most put upon Viking you'd ever seen. Not loud enough to make himself heard at dinner with his father, Stoick the Vast; not hard enough to beat his chief rival, Snotlout, at Bashyball, the number one school sport and CERTAINLY not stupid enough to go into a cave full of dragons to find a pet... It's time for Hiccup to learn how to be a Hero. Read all of Hiccup's exploits in the How to Train Your Dragon series: How to Train Your Dragon, How to Be a Pirate, How to Speak Dragonese, How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse, How to Twist a Dragon's Tale, A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons, How to Ride a Dragon's Storm, How to Break a Dragon's Heart, How to Steal a Dragon's Sword, How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel and How to Betray a Dragon's Hero.

The Wizard boy Xar and the Warrior girl Wish must learn to work together in order to find the ingredients for an ancient Witch-killing spell if they are to save the wildwoods.

J’aurai dû capturer une créature féroce, laide et méchante... Mais je me retrouve avec Krokmou, le dragon le plus petit, minuscule et ridicule que vous ayez jamais vu. De quoi j’ai l’air, moi, avec un dragon flemmard, qui ne m’écoute pas et ne lève jamais sa petite griffe ? Ce n’est pas comme si, en tant que fils du chef, Stoïk la Brute, je n’avais pas deux fois plus la pression ! Alors, vous vous demandez tous comment Harold l’Incapable est devenu le grand Harold Horrib’Haddock, héros incontesté des Vikings ? Eh bien, voici le secret de ma réussite !

Autrefois, il y avait la Magie, et la Magie vivait dans les forêts obscures. Et puis les Guerriers ont débarqué. Notre histoire a deux héros : un Magicien et une Guerrière. Le Magicien, Xar, n’a pas de Magie, et il ferait tout pour en avoir. La Guerrière, Souhait, possède un objet magique, et elle ferait tout pour le garder. Xar et Souhait ont toutes les raisons de se détester. Pourtant, ils vont devoir oublier leurs différences pour affronter une créature, endormie depuis la nuit des temps, qui est en train de s’éveiller...

In the first book of a new series by the bestselling author of How to Train Your Dragon, the warring worlds of Wizards and Warriors collide in a thrilling and enchanting adventure. Once there were Wizards, who were Magic, and Warriors, who were not. But Xar, son of the King of Wizards, can't cast a single spell. And Wish, daughter of the Warrior Queen, has a banned magical object of her own. When they collide in the wildwood, on the trail of a deadly witch, it's the start of a grand adventure that just might change the fabric of their worlds. With Cressida Cowell's trademark wit, and the same stunning combination of action, adventure, heart, humor, and incredible artwork that made How to Train Your Dragon a beloved bestselling franchise, The Wizards of Once will transport and bewitch readers.
