      About This Book

      "A riveting saga that intertwines elements of fantasy and science fiction . . . [The] tightly plotted, adventurous trilogy constitutes superb storytelling." —Publishers Weekly

      Teens dragon master Jakkin and beloved healer-in-training Akki hide in mountain cave network beside Heart's Blood warm hatchlings, exchanging mind-picture "sendings." But who could leave a huge pile of stripped dragon bones neatly interwoven? The monstrous secret is bloodier than they could imagine. Can they save anyone, even sacrificing themselves?

       "An ambitious and rewarding work of speculative fiction." —School Library Journal
      "The author combines well-wrought dragon lore with exciting adventure and good characterization." —Booklist
