School Library JournalGr 7–10—Starting immediately after the events in Starlighter (Zondervan, 2010), this Christian fantasy begins with Taushin, the prophesied dragon king, about to hatch from his egg. Meanwhile, Jason and his companions are still trying to figure out how to rescue the slaves from Starlight, and Koren, the Starlighter, is fighting to maintain her identity under nearly overwhelming pressure to allow Taushin to complete their connection. Once she escapes with Jason to the North, she realizes that going back to Taushin may be the only way to save her people. Jason tries to stop her, but to no avail, and he then joins with Uriel, the first freedom fighter, to meet the mysterious white dragon king of the North. As they do so, the seer Elysa joins forces with a young warrior to rescue some of the slaves and the dragons concoct a plan of their own.
