About The Book

The third title in this magical SERIES filled with adventure, wonder and edge-of-your-seat excitement, set in a world of daring dragons and magical maladies by the best-selling author of Sky Song, Abi Elphinstone . . .

Ember Spark, apprentice vet to magical creatures, is off on her next adventure. When a unicorn comes out of hiding to ask her for help, Ember realizes that it's not just one but ALL of the magical creatures that are in danger.
