Book description
A classic fantasy quest - with an exciting dinosaur twist - from the
creator of the Laws of Magic series and the Quentaris Chronicles. When
Queen Tayesha threatens to conquer all seven kingdoms of Krangor and
thus break the ancient bond between the saur and the land, one young
noble vows to stop her. Adalon's promise sets him on a perilous quest.
He and his loyal friends, Targesh and Simangee, must find a safe haven,
far from the queen's bloodthirsty soldiers. Beyond a river of fire, a
lost castle beckons. Mysteries and magical wonders await the three
friends at the castle à Â- but awakening ancient magic brings its own
dangers. Michael Pryor has published more than twenty-five fantasy
books and over forty short stories, from literary fiction to science
fiction to slapstick humour. Michael has been shortlisted six times for
the Aurealis Awards, has been nominated for a Ditmar award, and six of
his books have been CBCA Notable Books, including three books in the
Laws of Magic series. Michael's most recent books include The Chronicles
of Krangor series for younger readers, The Laws of Magic series and The
Extraordinaires series for older readers, as well as 10 Futures, a
collection of interlinked stories imagining what our next 100 years
might be like.
