Synopsis

Spark finally has friends and a makeshift family in her new home beneath the dragon city, yet she feels more alone and under more pressure than ever. Loch and the ice dragons will eventually seek revenge and attack the dragon city again. Spark throws herself into spellcraft, since she may be the dragons' only hope, but she cannot succeed alone. She also has only a few days to rescue a stolen dragon egg. To save the dragons she needs her mother and grandmother beside her, but first she must study the most dangerous kind of magic and learn that rebuilding a family is hard. The story deals with grief, isolation, loneliness, trust and healing.
