With one enemy defeated, Grace, her dragon, and her circle of friends now have even greater problems to contend with.Grace is the last known human with dragon blood, which makes her a target, but really, she's just like most other kids. Since moving to Hong Kong from the United States, Grace has become close to kids who like to have fun but also have each other's backs. And this is important, because though the immediate threats to Grace and Nate, her dragon friend, have been vanquished, there are still people out there searching for them. With a secretive cult and a shadowy dragon on their heels, Grace and friends travel to Paris, hoping that Grace's affinity for dragons (and a little help from Nate) will lead them to uncover a secret relic-before the cult can claim it for themselves. Unsure whom to trust, they must rely on their wits and their hearts to succeed. Colorful panels spill across the pages, sweeping Grace and the rest of the gang through the story's action in an immersive fashion. This sequel to The Awakening Storm (2021) opens up Grace and Nate's world while remaining true to the occasionally pensive themes of the first installment. Grace is white and Chinese; her friend group is multinational.An imaginative and dramatic tale with friendship and family at its core. (Graphic fantasy. 9-13)
