The Dragon Army: A Middle-Grade Fantasy Adventure

By: Martin, Diane

A mysterious key.

A legendary dragon.

A destiny awakened.

Thirteen-year-old Nura Kumar thinks her biggest challenge is keeping her late uncle's dusty old shop afloat-until a strange key, a secret ledger, and a whisper of wind change everything. When the key summons Sephron, the Queen of Dragons, Nura discovers she has been chosen as a bearer-linked for life to one of the last remaining dragons in Illusia.

She must train with other young bearers at the Citadel to prepare for an epic battle against the rising darkness. But with danger closing in, secrets from her family's past surfacing, and the fate of dragons in her hands, Nura must trust her bond with Sephron and rise to become the leader she is meant to be.

The Dragon Army is a thrilling adventure and the fifth installment in The Illusia Chronicles, a sweeping fantasy series for readers who believe in courage, friendship, and the magic of dragons.
