Kendra and Seth race to claim a talisman that could help them in their quest to protect the world from total dragon domination in this second novel of the New York Times bestselling sequel series to Fablehaven from author Brandon Mull.

War has come to the dragon sanctuaries of the world, and the danger is most intense at Wyrmroost. After a humiliating defeat at the hands of Kendra and Seth, Celebrant, King of Dragons, prepares to unleash his fury and take control of his native preserve. Armed with information from a new ally—Ronodin, the dark unicorn—Celebrant seeks a legendary talisman—the dominion stone.

However, the powerful stone is protected by a cursed castle. Upon entering the castle fortress, an unyielding power strips all magical beings of their power and forces Celebrant to take his human avatar form. Kendra and Seth must enter the cursed castle as well. The race is on. Will the two young caretakers rally enough support from the creatures of Wyrmroost against the greatest threat the magical community has faced in ages? Can they foil Celebrant’s plan and beat him to the mighty dominion stone? Or will all hope be shattered by the wrath of the Dragon King?

Review

The second book in the Dragonwatch series by Brandon Mull, and this one is a plot mover as it is more character-focused, and there is some adventure that happens, but we spend a lot of time helping the cousins get more involved in this terrifying world. As the cousins become immersed, our main characters dine with dragons, making for an exciting occasion. Once everyone meets up and the twins are involved in the battle, an epic quest is tasked and gives everyone time to learn a few more lessons about working together, and the ending is a big eye-opener for the main characters. This is a fantastic series that engulfs all the feels from Fablehaven and gives a fresh take at the same time.
