Hazel and the Kingdom of Dragons

By J. Bancroft

Some truths are buried so deep it takes a nine-year-old to find them.

Hazel has barely had time to catch her breath. Three weeks ago she stepped back through the portal with a freed dragon, a blank journal, and a line of handwriting she didn't recognize. Now Fizz is at her window in the dark with an urgent message: Aurevyn has been accused before the Dragon Council, and the man making the case against him is very, very good at it.

His name is Alex. He is seventeen years old, he has spent eight years building this argument, and everything he believes is true - except one specific thing.

Finding that one thing will take Hazel deeper into the Kingdom of Dragons than she has ever been: past an elderly woman named Bobby who has been waiting forty-three years for the right person to arrive, past a puzzle-loving dwarf named Aaron who hides principles inside mechanical boxes, and into a cold archive room where a letter has been waiting even longer than Bobby has.

But the Kingdom of Dragons is only the beginning. Because somewhere at the edge of the world - further than anyone normally goes - there is a door. And Aurevyn has stood in front of it. And the thing he felt behind it is the same thing Hazel felt in the Shadow Hollow.

It isn't a monster. It's a question. The oldest question in the world.

And it already knows her name.

Hazel and the Kingdom of Dragons is the second book in The Hazel Light Chronicles, a middle-grade fantasy series for readers ages 8-12.
