My review.

The old dragon’s head by Justin Newland.
Constructed of stone and packed earth, the Great Wall of 10,000 li protects China’s northern borders from the threat of Mongol incursion. The wall is also home to a supernatural beast: the Old Dragon. The Old Dragon’s Head is the most easterly point of the wall, where it finally meets the sea.
I really enjoyed this book. I love dragons. A lot of history in this book with some supernatural and I couldn’t put it down. 5*.
