An unknown hunter lurks nearby. Deadly lessons wait in shadows. Peridot has never done what anyone expected. She spends far too much time on the mountain, watching the dragons and taming the wolves. She neglects her lessons and hasn't learned to use magic like a proper young sprite. None of that matters to her, until her brother goes missing. Now, she's caught in a desperate game of cat and mouse with an unknown enemy, and the lessons she missed could have saved her and her brother. The mountain itself seems to mock her, throwing obstacle after obstacle in her path and nearly killing the man she's trying to rescue. Can Peridot learn to listen to the wisdom around her? Or will her stubborn streak get her and her brother killed and open the door for poachers to take her beloved dragons? This fast-paced adventure through enchanted mountain forests will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat.
