Thirteen-year-old Rose Gallagher has always been an outsider. Instead of hanging
out with the other kids at school, she prefers spending time searching for
interesting rocks in the desert or drawing dragons in her sketchbook. The bullies
in her class have taken notice and tease her for being weird. Rose could use a
fierce friend.
Then Rose makes a startling find on a rock hunt--a dragon! And not just any dragon.
A shape-shifting one that can take on Rose's appearance like they are long-lost cousins.
Now Rose has a friend that can perform magic and fly her away from the goons that
bother her. At first it feels like a dream come true. But the more Rose gets to know
her new friend, Jade, the more dangerous her life becomes.
The bullies in Rose's classroom suddenly don't seem as scary when she finds herself in
the middle of a dragon conflict that's been brewing for sixty-five million years. Rose
and Jade must find a way to overcome their enemy. Can they stop a full-out war?

Magic & Enchantments
Featuring: "Terminal Sorcery" by Grayson Towler
Kenryk the Magnificent once cast demon princes back to the darkness, and brought demigods
to their knees. Now he's just an old man trapped in his own tower, shivering under a stack of grey, threadbare blankets,
unable to walk more than a few steps on his own without the help of his final, talentless apprentice. No matter what Kenryk tries,
the girl just is not good at magic--but perhaps he does have one final lesson for her...
"Terminal Sorcery" is one of fifteen bewitching tales of magic and sorcery to appear
in this terrific collection.
