Book description
In The Ruby Kingdom, readers were captivated as Amelia Hammer and her
cousin, Simon, and friend, Ike, discovered a secret gate leading from
the small, southern-Ontario town of Dunstone to the extraordinary land
of Mythrin - a world populated by dragons. Now, dragon leader, Mara,
seeks the help of Amelia and her friends again. This time, a peculiar
race of humans from a world called Cassar is searching for the Prism
Blade - a legendary weapon forged at the beginning of time. Both the
dragons and the Casseri seek the Prism Blade for their own protection;
both the dragons and the Casseri fear the Blade falling into each
others' hands.
Caught in the middle, Amelia, Simon, and Ike are also caught by
surprise when they discover that the Prism Blade has been hidden for
centuries in their own town ... and is one of the most treasured
objects in all of Dunstone.
Patricia Bow lives in Kitchener, Ontario, with her husband, Eric,
and a small but fierce cat named Pooka. By day a writer of serious
prose for the University of Waterloo, by night she maps worlds of the
imagination. Her children's fantasy The Bone Flute was
shortlisted for the Ontario Library Association's 2006 Silver Birch Award.
