Publisher's summary

After finding a compass and clues left by Kallista's father, Leo Babbage, Trenton and Kallista head west aboard their homemade mechanical dragon to search for the missing inventor. The two teenagers hope to find answers about their mountain city of Cove, but instead, they find only a blackened forest, ruined buildings, and a small underground city.

Almost immediately, Trenton and Kallista get caught up in a civil war between a clan of scavengers called Whipjacks and the Order of the Beast - people who believe that dragons are immortal and divine.

Stranded in a new city, the two friends meet Plucky, a Whipjack girl with mechanical legs, and Ander, a young member of the Order who claims humans are able to communicate with dragons. Can they trust anyone, or have they unknowingly stepped into a trap?

A Fantastic second book

Everything is so very good in this second effort. All the foundation of the first is utilized to build a great springboard for this adventure. Superb writing and outstanding reading.

Pretty good!

This is the well-written and well produced sequel to Fires of Invention. Savage’s detailed but still fascinating descriptions of technology and his world building are even better than the last book.

The book isn’t perfect. The characters can be unbelievably unintelligent, some of the plot devices feel formulaic, and some of the story is repetitive.

But overall a fun and wholesome fantasy book with a strong sci-if twist.
