Raising Dragons

This series I admit dances a fine line between "sacrilegious" and good clean fantasy. In the series 

(which is a young adult fantasy series), the main characters are mostly descended from dragons that were miraculously turned into humans during the reign of King Arthur. These dragon children have magical abilities such as the ability to breathe fire and wings so they can fly. Where it strays into dangerous territory is that it is a Christian fantasy. The characters follow God and the Bible and all the "magic" is explained off as miracles. However, despite this Davis really respects the Bible and uses his fantastical characters to explain Biblical truths. For instance, Bonnie, the girl with wings, is a beautiful character who brings the other hero, Billy, to God through her testimony. After all there are other fantasy books that take the Bible and basically do their own weird thing with it or try to toot a "all paths lead to God" philosophy. This series does not do that. It also drifts a little into the myth of Arthur and the idea that he will "return" when the world needs him. In the book, Billy's father was adopted by King Arthur after he became a human, so Billy is Arthur's grandson and is able to wield the ancient sword Excalibur and use its power. (Which is again explained as a miraculous angelic sword and that's why it appears to have magical powers). There is also a good lesson on the negative effects of racism. The main antagonists of the plot are the "Slayers." These so called knights decided long ago that dragons were evil and had to be eradicated from the earth. They have spent the last several centuries seeking out the original dragons and those of draconian descent and killing them. For this reason the children are forced to hide their draconian powers so that the slayers don't see them. For instance, Bonnie always wears a backpack to hide her "birth defect". There are four books in the original series, plus Davis has written two sequel series. All of the books are excellent reads and one of the few series that has a lot of "meat" to the plot line. The book is available through kindle, nook, and trade paperback.
