About the Book
Twelve-year-old Desstra is in training to join the Underhand, the elite agents of the dark elves. But her graduation is jeopardized by the betrayal of a teammate. Things go from bad to worse when she is sent on a secret mission, under the supervision of this same rival.
Karn is trading in the city of Bense when he is snatched into the air by a wyvern, who carries him to the home of the dragon Orm. The great dragon tells Karn he believes a second Horn of Osius exists, hidden across the continent in the city of Castlebriar, and that Thianna went searching for the horn and is now missing. With only a dragon’s blessing to aid them and a mysterious riddle to guide them, Karn and Thianna must race the dark elves to a prize that could alter the fate of nations.

Love the cover! Judging by the synopsis I can’t wait to share this book with my library kids. 🙂
Very cool cover. The book sounds awesome too!
This is one of the best covers I’ve ever seen! I love it so much! It looks like being stripped away from a HQ/HD animated movie! And the synopsis? It’s on point!
The synopsis sounds really interesting and I love the cover, it’s beautiful and skillfully done. Props to the artist.
I love the cover Its a great cover for a middle grade book. I haven’t read a an adventure book for a long time.
nice cover
The cover is just awesome! The synopsis sounds ridiculously good.
This sounds amazing. I can’t help but love middle grade books. They bring out the 10 year old me!
I like how both the cover and synopsis suggest an action-packed book. It really bugs me when the cover suggests one thing, while the synopsis suggests another, so I think the cover and synopsis are great! The colors of the cover go well together. 🙂

love the cover and the synopsis makes this sounds like amazing book
I like the lettering and the art on the cover. The synopsis has me interested in the characters and story.
Both look pretty interesting. Thank you for the giveaway
The cover looks awesome with it being bright red and all the things happening in it. I particularly like the one creature on the upper right side of the book, the last one of the three in a row. That creature is perfectly showing how fierce they supposedly are going to be. Also from the synopsis I feel the need to read this book right now, since I have a strong love for anything including mythology and just the story itself is interesting in general.
The cover is cool and I’ve always enjoyed fantasy books especially when they involve dragons.
