About this listen

Marley is the best shield-polisher in the kingdom of Brightstone, making sure every knight’s armor shines like a morning star. But Marley dreams of more than just scrubbing away smudges, he dreams of grand adventures and ancient legends! Everything changes when the famous Sir Alistair, a dragonslayer with a magnificent mustache and a heart of gold, chooses Marley as his new apprentice. But this isn't a school for fighting. Instead of sharp swords, Marley is handed a wooden practice blade named 'Sparkle' and a list of seven quirky rules (Rule Number Seven: Always bring a snack!).

Together, they journey to the magical Whispering Woods, where the trees share secrets and rivers are made of bouncy, molten glass. Along the way, Marley discovers that being a dragonslayer isn't about being the fiercest warrior, it’s about understanding the "Dragon-Tongue," solving riddles for mischievous sprites, and knowing when a grumpy dragon just needs a crunchy biscuit and a little bit of kindness. Join Marley as he learns that true bravery doesn't mean you aren't scared, it means looking fear in the eye, offering a helping hand (or a shiny pot lid!), and realizing that the best way to "slay" a dragon is to make a brand-new friend.
