Dragon Ghosts

Book excerpt: Twin sisters fight to find their way back to each other—and return home—in this stirring novel in the New York Times–bestselling children’s fantasy series. Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and Artimé, their younger twin sisters have set out on their own journey—only to be separated amid war and chaos . . . Devastated by loss and hampered by a civil war in the Land of the Dragons, Fifer and Simber struggle to lead the rest of their team in a seemingly hopeless search for Fifer’s twin. Meanwhile, Thisbe, pounded by images of Grimere’s dark history and her growing feelings of abandonment, considers leaving Rohan behind in a desperate gamble that could lead her home . . . or to her death. Back in Artimé, chaos reigns. A new mage steps up to restore the magical land, but finds unexpected trouble at home and discovers—too late—that the Revinir’s controlling grip has reached into the vulnerable heart of Artimé . . . Praise for the Unwanteds novels “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.” —Kirkus Reviews “A fun mix of magic and science . . . The subplots—including young romance and murderous conspiracies—are skillfully interwoven.” —Publishers Weekly
