How to Train Your Dragon: How to Steal a Dragon's Sword

7 MILLION COPIES SOLD OF THE SERIES THAT INSPIRED THE HIT MOVIES!

Action-packed, hilarious, and perfectly illustrated, the How to Train Your Dragon series is a beloved modern classic with millions of fans across the globe. Journey into the adventure that started it all for Hiccup and Toothless!

A dragon rebellion is coming—filled with the meanest, nastiest dragons in the Archipelago. Razor-wings, Tonguetwisters, and Vampire Ghouldeaths are attacking Vikings and seem to be seeking one soul in particular: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third! Only a King can save them…and only a champion with all of the King’s Lost Things can be King. In his adventures, Hiccup has collected quite a few “things” himself. But can a scrawny Viking save the entire Archipelago from certain doom? To find out, Hiccup will have to outwit a witch, fight his arch-enemy, and beat back an army of bloodthirsty dragons with just one sword.

See How to Train Your Dragon come to life in the new live-action movie—coming to theaters June 2025!
