The Dragon’s Apprentice Series

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.

The fate of magic rests in the hands (and claws) of a cranky dragon, a feisty apprentice…and a prince who may not be all he seems? Get ready for the sequel to the hilarious New York Times bestselling fantasy adventure The Dragon’s Apprentice—from the beloved author of the Story Thieves series!

You were warned to stay away from THE DRAGON’S APPRENTICE. It was forbidden for a good reason, as it told the story of a village girl named Ciara finding her own book of magic and learning spells from a dragon of all things. These are dangerous ideas, and no one should be allowed to see them.

Fortunately, Ciara’s story didn’t end there, or she might have doomed us all. No, thankfully, a true hero to the Draconic Empire, Prince Aiden, has come to Ciara’s village to stop her and her teacher, Scorch the dragon. The prince, like his father the Emperor, is a powerful magic-user. And Aiden uses his power to keep us safe from strange, forbidden books. If anyone can stop Ciara from teaching others magic and therefore summoning the horrible Revenants that once defeated the Dragon Mage herself, it’s the Empire’s beloved prince.

Let’s just hope that Ciara can’t spread her knowledge of magic before the prince can find her and put an end to her evil deeds once and for all…

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this hilarious fantasy adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of the Story Thieves series, a girl strikes a deal with the ancient, cranky dragon she accidentally summoned to teach her the forbidden magic she needs to save her mother.

STOP. Don’t read any further. There are magic spells in this book, and the Emperor has forbidden anyone from learning magic, because it’s way too dangerous! If you try one of the spells, any number of terrible things might happen (or so the Emperor says).

Don’t be like Ciara, a twelve-year-old girl living in the tiny village of Skael. When she used a spell from within this book, she ended up summoning a dragon. A DRAGON! Those things breathe fire! From their mouths! She’s obviously doomed.

And don’t listen if Ciara tells you that dragons won’t hurt humans, and that they even once taught us magic, a thousand years ago. Definitely don’t pay any attention to the fact that the dragon she summoned, Scorch, might be willing to help rescue Ciara’s mother and free her village from the Emperor and his Warden, because it’s all obviously a big lie. So put this book down, and forget about it. Magic is just way too dangerous. After all, you wouldn’t want to summon your own dragon, would you?
