the Fourth Book In The Dragons Series Picks Up Story Threads Begun In Previous Books, Bringing The Story Arc Forward. Zanna Is Still Trying To Get Over The Death Of Her Partner, David Rain, While Raising Their Little Daughter Alexa. Yet Her Part-sister Lucy Refuses To Believe That David Is Actually Dead, And That He Somehow Survived That Disastrous Day In The Arctic. She Points To His Still-living Dragons As Proof, But No One Will Listen. When Her Theory Receives No Support From Her Sister Or Mother Liz, Lucy Enlists The Help Of Tam Ferrel, A Reporter With An Interest In David's Disappearance After The Publication Of His Bestselling Children's Books. Meanwhile, In The Arctic, Three Polar Bears Are On A Quest To Save The World And One Of Them Has A Deep Secret That Affects The Rest Of The Characters. Fans Of The Series Up To This Point Will Enjoy The Continuation Of The Lives Of Their Favorite Characters And The Many Secrets That Begin To Reveal Themselves Through The Course Of The Novel. However, The Book Does Not Stand Alone Well, With Many Sections Being Hard To Follow Without Already Knowing Something About The World And Characters. Reviewer: Kathleen Foucart
