Michelle Knudsen revisits Trelian in a thrilling follow-up fantasy about a princess with an uncanny link to a dragon and a uniquely talented young mage.
The hundred-year war with Kragnir is over, and Meg will soon be named the princess-heir of Trelian. But her connection to her dragon, Jakl, is making her parents' subjects uneasy. Will they ever accept this dragon princess as their future queen? It doesn't help that Meg is suffering horrible nightmares and sudden, uncontrollable rages—and with the link joining them, Jakl is feeling the rages, too. Meg is desperate to talk to Calen, to see if he can help her figure out what is happening and how to stop it before she or her dragon does something terrible...
Meanwhile, Calen is having troubles of his own. He's far away, gone off with Mage Serek to receive his first true mage's mark. But his marking ceremony is disrupted by a mysterious magical attack, and ominous prophecies predict a terrifying new danger. The Magistratum's greatest enemy may soon reappear—and the other mages believe that Calen himself may have a hand in his return!
From bestselling author Michelle Knudsen, here is the thrilling fantasy follow-up to The Dragon of Trelian.

      Grades 4-7 In this strong follow-up to The Dragon of Trelian (2009), princess-heir Meg and apprentice wizard Calen again attempt to divert mage Sen Eva's plot to bring war to Trelian, this time to kingdom Lourin, which has been plagued by what look like dragon attacks. Meg is sure her dragon, Jakl, is not responsible, but the uncontrollable blind rages they both suffer suggest otherwise. Meanwhile, Calen is at the center of a looming war between mages. Sen Eva's plot proves to be plenty devious, and a tense cliffhanger ending sets a dark tone for the next book. This series is a familiar yet engaging take on traditional fantasy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)

      In this sequel to The Dragon of Trelian (rev. 5/09), Princess Meg is now heir to the throne, but her subjects are uneasy about her relationship with her dragon, and it only becomes worse when a neighboring king accuses the dragon of ravaging the countryside, burning fields and killing people. Meanwhile, Meg's best friend Calen has earned his mage's mark, but a mysterious, magical attack occurs during the presentation ceremony, and when his special abilities come to light it brings a cloud of suspicion upon him. Needless to say, the deposed villain from the previous book is behind all the mischief. Sen Eva is once again trying to open a portal for a powerful evil mage to return from exile, but this time she succeeds. As Meg and her allies prepare for war against the forces of Mage Krelig, he seems to have won the impetuous Calen over to his side, either by persuasion or coercion. The book ends unresolved, with a cliffhanger ending. The wonderful characters and the fluid writing compensate for the somewhat languid pacing and the lack of thematic depth. Fans will eagerly await the climactic confrontation between forces in the next book of what appears to be a trilogy. jonathan hunt
