‘How can a musical instrument be a key?’ Noah signed. ‘What kind of lock does it open?’
Noah Chord is just an ordinary teenager … or is she?
One day, hearing-impaired, budding fashion designer, Noah, is at school; the next she’s saving the world. Not her world though – a place called Talisker, a world woven from music. And it all started when she met that cat!
A reluctant hero, Noah finds herself at the centre of a prophecy: Find the 13th key and save Talisker from destruction. To succeed she must outwit the charismatic Orville Kurz, battle wizards and goblins, and even counsel her allies. Noah’s catwalk crusades have tested her fighting spirit, but she will need all her tenacity if she is to restore the fabric of Talisker and save its inhabitants from Orville’s evil plot!
The 13th Key is the first book in Sarah Fisher’s magical Dragonscale series. Written with much humour, imagination and fashion tips, Noah’s adventures will leave you breathless – and reaching for the next book. Young Adults and the young at heart will enjoy it equally.

Noah exhaled slowly. ‘And here I was thinking that this couldn’t get any worse.’
The cat opened one eye. ‘It’s good to see you too, Noah.’
A massive piece of firestone. Unlimited power. Talisker is on the cusp of a technological revolution. Electricity is almost a reality. All thanks to Noah Chord and her affinity with the potent dragonscale. So why is Noah – King’s Tailor, Professor of Raiki and Dragonsbane – now the most wanted criminal on Talisker?
In a word … Brinn.
Thanks to the cat’s meddling, the theft of the firestone has Noah on the run. To redeem herself and give Brinn her comeuppance, Noah must outwit the powerful enemies stalking her. Talisker’s kings, goblins, and even a god are on her tail! Can Noah find more firestone before her enemies find her?
Sarah Fisher’s second novel in her Dragonscale series is a stunning sequel to The 13th Key. But be warned … this fast-paced adventure will grab you and drag you into the story. And there’s no way out.

Noah winked. ‘Prepare to be amazed.’
‘I don’t really want to be amazed, Noah,’ Emir said. ‘With you, amazing usually means trouble.’
When Noah Chord finds an ancient Taliskeran relic in a museum on Earth, she knows it means trouble. If the evil god, Jong, claims the powerful talisman he will escape his confinement within Talisker and take vengeance on the brother who imprisoned him. Jong will obliterate Elani’s creations across the universe – starting with Talisker!
As Talisker’s sworn protector, Noah knows that the relic must be destroyed. But it’s her only hope of rescuing Gillette who Jong is holding hostage. Noah is desperate to secure his release since it was her fault he was captured. But can she really expect to outmanoeuvre all of Jong’s minions and then outwit the god himself? Is one boy’s life worth the risk?
Redemption – the third book in the Dragonscale series combines action and subtle humour against a backdrop of fantastic places, magical beings and mystical dragons as Noah, Emir, Raven, Brinn and a host of new friends race against time to save their world from destruction.

Sarah’s Bio
Sarah Fisher’s debut Dragonscale series is a fantasy trilogy for Young Adults. Her goal, when she grows up (if she grows up!), is to write a story without a dragon in it.
Sarah lives in Queensland, Australia and spends her days corralling primary school children, and her nights trying to tame her unruly collection of fictional characters. Sarah’s ultimate dinner party guest list would include Jasper Fforde, Garth Nix, Aileen Erin, Stacey Rourke, David Astle, Lily Serna, Marvel’s Avengers, and Mike Rowe (that guy from Dirty Jobs).
If she were granted one writing wish, it would be to see a movie adaptation of her Dragonscale series, directed by New Zealand film legend, Taika Waititi. When Sarah isn’t writing or reading, she can often be found binge watching Marvel movies or re-runs of Letters and Numbers, River Monsters or Dirty Jobs. She lists Blackadder and the BBC’s Cabin Pressure radio show as her favourite comedy series.
I have a copy of my Death Certificate. I died in 1875 at the age of one, apparently – on a sea journey from Scotland to Australia.
I am terrified of grasshoppers, beetles and crickets.
If I could be any fictional character, I would be Thursday Next from Jasper Fforde’s fabulous series!

Think life is always quiet in the country? Think again.After a trip to Canberra last year, I returned to find a Channel 7 news crew camped across the road from my little cottage. Hoping that someone from Channel 7 had read my novel and was desperate to interview me, I...
Driving Miss Daisy
There’s nothing quite like a drive in the country. And as long as you don’t have a particular destination in mind, then I’m your girl. Generally, I like to be pretty loose about destinations because I don’t dig on maps. Just to be clear – I can read them, but it takes...
Sirens
I love my little house in the country. My writer’s retreat. From my office in my quaint little 1940s cottage, I have glorious views of rolling hills. Bird calls are the predominant sounds of the day, silence reigns at night … unless the cows in the paddock down the...
Going Postal
Country life is different to city life in many ways, but one of the most significant is the service. People smile at you, ask you how your day has been – and sound like they’re genuinely interested in the answer. But it’s more than that, as I discovered when I went to...
Frog … The other F Word
Anyone who has worked in a school knows that it’s not for the fainthearted. They also know that one of the few places you can get any respite, is the staff toilet. Unless there are frogs. Being confronted by one (or two or three) of them in the toilet bowl is an...
Summer in Queensland
As summer kicks in, I'm loading up on ice blocks again. I certainly don't want a repeat of 2017...I didn’t used to be a fan of cold weather, but my first summer in Toogoolawah converted me. I was expecting that I could tough it out. After all, Queenslanders are used...
