Description



Book Synopsis



NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A young indigenous woman and her dragon fight for the independence of their homeland in this epic sequel to the bestselling and multi-award-winning To Shape a Dragon's Breath, "a remarkable novel that is bound to be a staple of fantasy shelves for years to come" (BuzzFeed).

Anequs has not only survived her first year at Kuiper's Academy but exceeded her professors' admittedly low expectations--and passed all her courses with honors. Now she and her dragon, Kasaqua, are headed home for the summer, along with Theod, the only other native student at the Academy.

But what should have been a relaxing break takes a darker turn. Thanks to Anequs's notoriety, there is an Anglish presence on Masquapaug for the first time ever: a presence that Anequs hates. Anequs will always fight for what she believes in, however, and what she believes in is her people's right to self-govern and live as they have for generations, without the restrictive yoke of Anglish rules and social customs. And fight she will--even if it means lighting a spark that may flare into civil war.



Review Quotes




"The smart and exciting sequel to Blackgoose's Nebula Award-winning debut, To Shape a Dragon's Breath, digs into the colonialism and classism of magic academy and dragon rider tropes. . . . Readers will be eager for more."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

OBSESSED with this series

What I love most about this book is the dialogue, the information, learning in classes in this world alongside Anequs. I love how seamlessly we get into the continuation of this story, and that ending!? I am so eager to read the next book, I have to know where this goes. We even get more lore from more cultures, new loveable characters, and best of all the cutest companionship with Kasaqua. This series is so thought-provoking and deep and intricate. Anequs is back at the academy, the Jarl has new Thranes in place, and the political tensions have gotten even higher. This year she's to decide if embracing Anglish ways to strengthen her connections is what she even wants to do, figuring things out with Theod and Liberty, and the treats from the group of people that can't stand to see their government and world evolve for the better.
