A young human woman, intent on dethroning a tyrant. A loyal dragon companion, dedicated to her cause. And a heroic adventure that will challenge their unwavering courage . . . An epic, middle grade fantasy adventure series for the entire family! Jahrra has been in hiding her entire life, but the time for secrecy has come to an end as the threat of war draws near. Before they can face the Crimson King, however, she and Jaax must seek the aid of the legendary ice dragons of the north. With Lidien behind them, Jahrra and Jaax begin a perilous journey through the mountains, where both adversary and ally will follow. But their trust in others must be bartered carefully, for the Tyrant's influence stretches far and wide. Even if they do reach Nimbronia, their troubles may not be over. If the king of the ice dragons cannot be convinced to join their cause, then their fate - and the fate of Ethöes - may very well be sealed in sorrow and defeat. Imagine a world as rich as Tolkien's Middle-earth, a plot as multifaceted as Harry Potter , an adventure that rivals Eragon , and characters as memorable and endearing as the Wings of Fire dragons.
