There are magic spells in this book, and the Emperor has \u003ci\u003eforbidden\u003c\/i\u003e anyone from learning magic, because it's \u003ci\u003eway\u003c\/i\u003e too dangerous! If you try one of the spells, any number of terrible things might happen (or so the Emperor says). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDon't be like Ciara, a twelve-year-old girl living in the tiny village of Skael. When \u003ci\u003eshe \u003c\/i\u003eused a spell from within this book, she ended up summoning a dragon. A \u003ci\u003eDRAGON\u003c\/i\u003e! Those things breathe fire! \u003ci\u003eFrom their mouths\u003c\/i\u003e! She's obviously doomed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd don't listen if Ciara tells you that dragons won't hurt humans, and that they even once \u003ci\u003etaught\u003c\/i\u003e us magic, a thousand years ago. Definitely don't pay any attention to the fact that the dragon she summoned, Scorch, \u003ci\u003emight \u003c\/i\u003ebe willing to help rescue Ciara's mother and free her village from the Emperor and his Warden, because it's all obviously a big lie. So put this book down, and forget about it. Magic is just way too dangerous. After all, you wouldn't want to summon your own dragon, would you?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames Riley is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the STORY THIEVES, HALF UPON A TIME, ONCE UPON ANOTHER TIME, REVENGE OF MAGIC, and DRAGON'S APPRENTICE series. He's never apprenticed with a dragon . . . \u003ci\u003eyet\u003c\/i\u003e. He's pretty sure there's still time, though, especially if he could do it as an online video apprenticeship sort of thing.
