Calling on Dragons
Book 3 of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles series
288 pages · First published 2015
When suspicious patches of missing magic appear in the Enchanted Forest, Morwen the witch suspects that the troublesome Society of Wizards is up to its old tricks. Her investigation takes a serious turn when King Mendanbar's enchanted sword disappears, leaving the forest vulnerable to the wizards' dangerous schemes. To recover it, Morwen joins Queen Cimorene, the dragon king Kazul, magician Telemain, two opinionated talking cats, and a rabbit whose unfortunate magical transformations have turned him into a gigantic blue donkey. Their journey brings magical mishaps, unexpected allies, eccentric enemies, and a great deal of argument about how things ought to be done. Full of clever humor, unpredictable magic, and unconventional heroes, this delightful fantasy adventure is ideal for readers who love dragons, talking animals, fractured fairy tales, and quests where common sense proves just as valuable as powerful magic.
