About this book
For every villain, there is a hero . . .
Turtle isn't one of the heroes he reads about in stories. If he were, he'd use his animus powers to help his fellow dragons -- instead of keeping his abilities a secret, even from his own sister. Now that Darkstalker, the sinister dragon from Pyrrhia's most notorious legends, has returned, Turtle knows his own role is simple: hide. And stay hidden.
The other dragons at Jade Mountain Academy are utterly charmed by Darkstalker, and seem convinced that the ancient dragon has changed his villainous ways.
But Turtle isn't so sure. The more he watches Darkstalker from the shadows, the more Turtle knows that someone needs to stop the powerful dragon. A real hero. And with time running out to find one, Turtle realizes . . . he might have to try saving the day himself.
