A massive goblin host marches on Arendon — but the goblins are puppets. The wizards pulling their strings want the kingdom to tear itself apart.
The only shot at survival? Freeing Crodor the Ancient, a legendary red dragon bound by a cruel spell. To break the curse, Amber, Basil, Theo, and their friends must outwit treacherous mountain clans, solve an elemental riddle, and face the terrifying question at the heart of the war: can you trust a dragon you've been raised to fear?
Book Two of the Elementalists saga raises the stakes — and the sky. Expect siege battles at the capital, dragon flight above the clouds, giants of incredible power, and a pact that will change everything. The young elementalists have more to learn about their gifts than they ever imagined, and every new ally comes with a price. Written together by Ephie Risho and his child Blue Risho — the parent-and-child team whose opening volume hit Amazon's Top 20 in YA Fantasy.
For readers who loved the world of Phoenix Rising, Crodor the Ancient opens the map wider: deeper into the mountains, higher into the sky, and further into the long history Arendon has spent trying to forget.
