After a decade of uneasy peace in the magical realm of Artimé, restless twins Fifer and Thisbe Stowe chafe under their older brother Alex’s strict leadership. When Hux, an ice-blue dragon, arrives with dire news — his siblings are enslaved in the distant dragon land of Revinir — the twins see their chance to prove themselves. Along with their friend Seth, they embark on a rescue mission that threatens to overwhelm their fledgling magical skills. When peril looms in the jungle of Artimé and beyond, the trio must decide whether courage and loyalty can make up for inexperience — and whether they can survive the treacherous journey that lies ahead.
This is a Barnes & Noble exclusive edition featuring a bonus short story by Lisa McMann, “The Big Day.”
