With more to fight for than ever, Kira and Elspeth must face the next phase of their adventure ...
One day, a young girl astride a twin-tailed dragon will destroy the monarchy and change the world for ever ...
Kira and Elspeth have already broken FIRST LAW many times over. Now outlawed and running for their lives they are determined to stand amongst the men and fight the unjust FIRST LAW that binds the kingdom. But cruel Lord Dorcon still stands in their way and the heat of his chase is stronger than ever.
Strong and determined, Kira has done all that she can to protect and shield her younger sister. But now it's time for Elspeth to grow up. When Paradon's muddled magic sends them travelling through time to different eras, new challenges and terrifying threats await the separated sisters. Especially to Elspeth, left all alone to navigate a past world long before the rule of King Ardon and FIRST LAW. And all the while in a strange, alien world of the future, Kira must find a way to get back to Elspeth and reunite her family once again.
A prophecy to fulfil. A cruel monarchy to upend. The battle continues ...

Kate O'Hearn
Kate O'Hearn was raised in the heart of New York City. Throughout her life, she has always had an active and vivid imagination. As a child walking down Fifth Avenue, she would envision herself soaring among the city's canyons on the back of a wild dragon. While in Florida, looking over the sea, she could imagine living amongst the whales and breaching in the heavy swells. At night, a star studded sky was yet another playground. These dreams and ideas never faded. Instead they grew until they spilled over into the books she loves to write.
Kate's first book, Shadow of the Dragon: Kira, won the 1066 Schools' Book Award.
