Find out if the dragon sightings are true in this thrilling, dystopian adventure story, perfect for fans of Wings of Fire and Impossible Creatures.

A million years ago, temperatures dropped, and the dragons went underground to save their species. Now the Earth's temperatures are rising, meanwhile the dragons are waking too...

Twelve-year-old Lucas doesn't know much about dragons, except what he's read in books and seen on TV. But when his friend's father warns him that the dragon apocalypse is near, Lucas can't shake the feeling that what he's saying may be true.

Afraid yet curious, Lucas is drawn to sight of smoke in the nearby mountains, and there, he discovers an injured young dragon named Cinder. Inspite of all known danger, Lucas rescues her to safety and is amazed to find she's not the monster he was warned to fear. Soon begins a friendship against all odds, and Lucas realizes, beyond the surface of scales and skin, they're more alike than different.

Still, every day, more dragons are appearing, towns are burning, and a simple misunderstanding has spiraled into violence and bloodshed. Will humans and dragons find a way to coexist?

Mari Mancusi always wanted a dragon as a pet. Unfortunately, the fire insurance premiums proved a bit too large and her house a bit too small, so she chose to write about them instead. An Emmy Award-winning former TV news producer, she now works as a full-time author, having published over thirty books. When not writing, Mari enjoys traveling, cosplaying, watching cheesy (and scary) horror movies, and playing video games. A graduate of Boston University, she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Jacob, and daughter. She invites you to visit her at marimancusi.com or follow her @marimancusi.
