Lucia discovers evidence that dragons may not be as extinct as historians and scholars would have people believe, and so sets out to prove them wrong. When she discovers a preserved egg high in the mountains, she returns home with her evidence to prove the point. The only trouble with bringing back such a coveted prize is there are others in seats of office that have the power to confiscate it without having to offer an explanation. What follows are an unfortunate chain of events that sees Lucia forced from her home, find new friends, as well as develop a conscience regarding the fate of the egg. But will her plans prove to be all too late as the real egg's owner turns up so as to reclaim that which had been stolen? The Tale of the Dragon's Egg is Lucia's first adventure as she sets out on her adventures as a not so ordinary Vampire.
