Read the third book in the hilarious series that began with the New York Times bestselling The Dragon’s Apprentice! Adventure and laughs continue as Scorch the dragon and his human apprentice Ciara face the wrath of the Emperor, unravel new secrets and save magic itself.
Citizens of the Draconic Empire! Thanks to your beloved Emperor, the criminal Ciara of Skael has been dealt with, in spite of summoning world-ending Revenants. He has also taken the dragon Scorch into his care, in order to free Scorch’s mind of any remaining Revenant influence. The Empire is safe!
Of course, there are still enemies out there. The Emperor’s son, Prince Aiden, seems to be acting suspiciously. Could you imagine if the prince was somehow working with Ciara of Skael to find her dragon, and overthrow the Emperor? Thankfully the Emperor would never allow such things to happen.
No, instead he will turn his eyes toward an even bigger enemy: the Dragon Mage’s opposite, a monster masquerading as a human who could destroy magic once and for all. Will even the Emperor be able to defeat such an enemy? Of course, he’s the Emperor … but we might still hide in our beds until it’s over.

James Riley is the New York Times bestselling author of the STORY THIEVES, HALF UPON A TIME, ONCE UPON ANOTHER TIME, REVENGE OF MAGIC, and DRAGON’S APPRENTICE series. He’s never apprenticed with a dragon . . . yet. He’s pretty sure there’s still time, though, especially if he could do it as an online video apprenticeship sort of thing. Does that exist? If not, it should: Learn Magic over Zoom (and Try Not to Burn Down Your House)!
