Book Synopsis

The fate of magic rests in the hands (and claws) of a cranky dragon, a feisty apprentice...and a prince who may not be all he seems? Get ready for the sequel to the hilarious New York Times bestselling fantasy adventure The Dragon's Apprentice--from the beloved author of the Story Thieves series!

The spellbinding first edition paperback of Revenants Return features colored edges with a special dragon design!

You were warned to stay away from THE DRAGON'S APPRENTICE. It was forbidden for a good reason, as it told the story of a village girl named Ciara finding her own book of magic and learning spells from a dragon of all things. These are dangerous ideas, and no one should be allowed to see them.

Fortunately, Ciara's story didn't end there, or she might have doomed us all. No, thankfully, a true hero to the Draconic Empire, Prince Aiden, has come to Ciara's village to stop her and her teacher, Scorch the dragon. The prince, like his father the Emperor, is a powerful magic-user. And Aiden uses his power to keep us safe from strange, forbidden books. If anyone can stop Ciara from teaching others magic and therefore summoning the horrible Revenants that once defeated the Dragon Mage herself, it's the Empire's beloved prince.

Let's just hope that Ciara can't spread her knowledge of magic before the prince can find her and put an end to her evil deeds once and for all...

Review Quotes

"A hilarious, swift-paced, thoughtful, and heartbreaking fantasy adventure." --Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

James Riley is the New York Times bestselling author of the STORY THIEVES, HALF UPON A TIME, ONCE UPON ANOTHER TIME, REVENGE OF MAGIC, and DRAGON'S APPRENTICE series. He's never apprenticed with a dragon . . . yet. He's pretty sure there's still time, though, especially if he could do it as an online video apprenticeship sort of thing. Does that exist? If not, it should: Learn Magic over Zoom (and Try Not to Burn Down Your House)!
