A stunning middle grade fantasy about a girl with a secret identity who used to be a dragon and her adventure to save her new home--from Even the Darkest Stars author Heather Fawcett. Perfect for fans of the Nevermoor and His Dark Materials series.
Ember St. George is a dragon. At least she was before her adoptive father--a powerful but accident-prone Magician--turned her into a human girl to save her life.
Unfortunately, Ember's growing tendency to burst into flames at certain temperatures--not to mention her invisible wings--is making it too dangerous for her to stay in London. The solution: ship Ember off to her aunt's research station in frigid Antarctica.
Though eccentric Aunt Myra takes getting used to, Ember quickly feels at home in a land of ice storms, mischievous penguins, and twenty-four-hour nights. She even finds herself building a found family with a girl genius called Nisha and a mysterious orphan named Moss.
Then she discovers that Antarctica is home to the Winterglass Hunt, a yearly tradition in which rare ice dragons are hunted for their jeweled scales. Furious, Ember decides to join the hunt to sabotage it from the inside.
But being an undercover dragon isn't easy--especially among dragon hunters. Can a twelve-year-old fire dragon survive the dangers that come her way in the Antarctic wilderness and protect the ice dragons from extinction in this heartfelt magical adventure?
- A Girl with a Fiery Secret: Ember wasn't born human, and her lingering dragon traits--like bursting into flames when she gets too warm--are getting harder to hide.
- Antarctica Setting: Whisked away to a remote research station, Ember discovers a world of mischievous penguins, 24-hour nights, and rare ice dragons facing a terrible threat.
- Unlikely Friendships: At the bottom of the world, Ember finds her place with Nisha, a girl genius, and Moss, a mysterious orphan, who help her on her dangerous mission.
- Magic and Science: From the daughter of an accident-prone Magician to the niece of a brilliant Scientist, Ember must use her unique heritage to sabotage a cruel dragon hunt from the inside.
