Scorch dragons

Amie Kaufman

Book - 2020

After the fateful battle between the ice wolves and the scorch dragons, Anders and his twin sister, Rayna, have been reunited. But there's no time to celebrate. The temperature all over Vallen is starting to drop. And Anders quickly learns that the wolves have stolen a weather-altering artifact called the Snowstone, and every dragon, including Rayna, is now in danger. Desperate to broker peace, Anders enlists the help of a few new flame-breathing friends to stop the wolves' next plan of attack. Together, these former rivals must go on a dangerous quest to find the scattered pieces of the Sun Scepter, the only artifact that can counteract the Snowstone. Because if either device goes unchecked, all hope for a truce will be lost.

Review by Booklist Review

Tensions escalate between the ice wolves and scorch dragons, and Anders and his twin sister are in the middle of the conflict. Although Rayna is seemingly a scorch dragon without fire, and Anders somehow managed to produce a deadly weapon that combined ice and fire, they and their friends are more intent on discovering how to stop an imminent war than on sorting out their talents. There is treachery afoot on the ice wolves' side, but the reason remains a mystery. Book two in the Elementals series, following Ice Wolves (2018), blooms like the flames of the scorch dragons within it, bringing more information about Anders and Rayna's family history while advancing the tensions between two societies that used to be at least collaborators if not friends. As the twins and their friends watch the adults in their lives move toward war, they discover a common purpose that provides insights into compromise and trust. Kaufman also drops in riddles to unravel that will eventually bring together a weapon for peace. This is sure to be a hot commodity among young fantasy-adventure fans.--Cindy Welch Copyright 2019 Booklist
