The sequel, The Griffin's Feather ( Die Feder eines Greifs) picks up the story two years later.

On the way, they'll encounter an assortment of magical creatures both good and bad and travel through exotic locations, all while trying to keep themselves out of reach of a very persistent beast with a hunger for dragon flesh. A series by German author Cornelia Funke, in which the first book ( Drachenreiter in the original German) follows a dragon, a Brownie, and an unassuming human orphan (and eventually a few more partners) as they travel from one end of the earth to the other searching for the Rim of Heaven - the only true sanctuary left for the dragons, now that humans are building over all the others.
