Synopsis

As a porter in a London hospital, Dr Steven Attah wonders whether moving his young family from Nigeria to the UK was a good decision. When his friends introduce him to the mysterious and powerful Dragon Society, the answer seems to be yes as success and wealth flows to his family. But, when disaster strikes, he discovers the true cost of membership of the society.
When the full extent of the powerful and terrifying influence that the Dragon Society has over Steven and other members of his community emerges, the society comes under threat from internal and external forces. But, as the society fights to defend its reputation, will Steven be able to free himself from its clutches and get the chance to rebuild his life, or will he discover that once you've joined the Dragon Society you can never completely leave it?

About this title

From the Author

Writing the 'Dragon Society' was an intresting, reflective and positive experience for me. I had to draw on all my past experiences both as someone from ethnic monority background and as a medical professional to tell this story.The purpose of me telling this story was to illustrate some of the societal pressures and challenges faced by youths from ethnic minority groups when they relocate to western countries. Whilst at the same time demonstrating to readers that Godliness, good moral virtues and respect for the law remain the only true route to a lasting peaceful successful life.
