Rise of the Dragon Moon

The princess of a frozen queendom fights to free her mother from the clutches of terrifying dragons in Rise of the Dragon Moon, a middle grade fantasy debut from Gabrielle K. Byrne. Princess Toli may be heir to the throne, but she longs to be a fierce hunter and warrior. Alone in a frozen world, her queendom is at the mercy of the dragons that killed her father, and Toli is certain it's only a matter of time before they come back to destroy what's left of her family. When the dragons rise and seize her mother, Toli will do anything to save her--even trust a young dragon who may be the only key to the Queen's release. With her sister and best friend at her side, Toli makes the treacherous journey across the vast ice barrens to Dragon Mountain, where long-held secrets await. Bear-cats are on their trail, and dragons stalk them, but the greatest danger might be a mystery buried in Toli's past. An Imprint Book

Enthralling, masterful storytelling--a perfect blend of adventure and coming-of-age, and deliciously scary in parts. My head is still filled with glorious dragons.--Karen Foxlee, author of Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy

The dragons...seethe and swirl off the pages. Fans of Erin Hunter's "Warriors" series will enjoy. --School Library Journal
