Summary

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A young indigenous woman and her dragon fight for the independence of their homeland in this epic sequel to the bestselling and multi-award-winning To Shape a Dragon’s Breath, “a remarkable novel that is bound to be a staple of fantasy shelves for years to come” (BuzzFeed).

Anequs has not only survived her first year at Kuiper’s Academy but exceeded her professors’ admittedly low expectations—and passed all her courses with honors. Now she and her dragon, Kasaqua, are headed home for the summer, along with Theod, the only other native student at the Academy.

But what should have been a relaxing break takes a darker turn. Thanks to Anequs’s notoriety, there is an Anglish presence on Masquapaug for the first time ever: a presence that Anequs hates. Anequs will always fight for what she believes in, however, and what she believes in is her people’s right to self-govern and live as they have for generations, without the restrictive yoke of Anglish rules and social customs. And fight she will—even if it means lighting a spark that may flare into civil war. Dragons & Mythical Creatures Fantasy Indigenous Creators World Literature Fiction Dragons

What the critics say

“The smart and exciting sequel to Blackgoose’s Nebula Award–winning debut, To Shape a Dragon’s Breath, digs into the colonialism and classism of magic academy and dragon rider tropes. . . . Readers will be eager for more.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

I was waiting with baited breath for this book to come out after falling in love with the first one. This book stepped it up and DELIVERED! I love this story and every new character. The characters from the first book get to grow impressively and so do the dragons! I love Anequs as a protagonist and I really admire her. I feel like I could read this and the previous book hundreds of times (3 reads so far) and I'm living for the release of the third book. Especially after the introduction of Sadsong and that ENDING which left me already fiending for more. Thank you for this incredible story & world!!!

My favourite series- even better than the first book
