In this riveting sequel to New Dragon City, a perfect society soars into view, but not all is what it seems… Perfect for fans of Wings of Fire  and How to Train Your Dragon.

It’s been five long months since Noah has seen his dragon, Asha, and he can’t wait to be reunited with her when she wakes from hibernation. His best friend, Maya, however, isn’t so sure. She still remembers what dragons did to their world and isn’t ready to forgive and forget. She’s also not ready to let Noah out of her sight again, after what happened the last time. So when Noah and his old friend Lucas join forces to aid a dragon who might be in trouble, she insists on coming along for the ride, even if that means on dragonback.

Together the three of them head to Boston, now known as the City of Scales. Championed as a new world order where dragons and humans have partnered to build a paradise of movie theaters, restaurants, libraries and even pro baseball games. To Noah, it’s a dream come true. A return to a world he thought he’d never see again. But Asha remains suspicious, believing something is rotten under this city’s shiny skin. And if she can’t convince Noah to believe her in time, it may cost her and her dragons their lives.

New Dragon City

Mari Mancusi always wanted a dragon as a pet. Unfortunately, the fire insurance premiums proved a bit too large and her house a bit too small, so she chose to write about them instead. An Emmy Award-winning former TV news producer, she now works as a full-time author, having published over thirty books, including the New Dragon City and Dragon Ops series. When not writing, Mari enjoys traveling, cosplaying, watching cheesy (and scary) horror movies, and playing video games. A graduate of Boston University, she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Jacob, and daughter. She invites you to visit her at marimancusi.com or follow her @marimancusi.
