The Shadow of Avonoa

Darkness Consumes! "Stay away from the surface world!" That's what Hiro told himself. In fact, that's what he teaches young dragons now. Humans are dangerous, violent, and evil - best to avoid. That's all Hiro wants now, too. Until a human shows up in his lair and ruins everything! Princess Anna tricks Tog, Hiro's best friend, into sneaking her back into Hiro's life. Even with the story of a dangerous creature attacking, Hiro refuses her pleas for help. But when the dragons learn that previous involvement with the humans has dire lasting effects, Hiro is forced to investigate. With death sweeping over the land, Hiro's intervention discovers possibilities none could imagine - least of all, him. 2025 IngramSpark® Editorial Selection - Young Adult
