Our Review

This middle-grade fantasy adventure introduces young readers to the thrilling world of dragon riders through the eyes of ten-year-old twins Ruskya and Duskya, who leave their home to join an elite group of dragon riders. The story spans fifteen years, following the twins' journey as they face a world where both dragons and their riders are becoming increasingly rare. When a mysterious man appears recruiting new riders, the narrative builds tension around whether this represents hope for preservation or a threat to their dwindling community. The dragon rider fantasy elements create an immersive world that will captivate children who love mythical creatures and adventure stories.

What sets this fantasy novel apart is its focus on sibling relationships and the passage of time, allowing readers to grow alongside the characters from childhood to adulthood. The twin protagonists provide both boys and girls with relatable entry points into this magical world, while the themes of responsibility and conservation give the adventure meaningful depth. Young readers who enjoy stories about friendship, loyalty, and protecting endangered creatures will find themselves fully invested in the twins' quest to safeguard their dragon companions. The blend of coming-of-age elements with high-stakes fantasy creates a memorable reading experience that balances wonder with substance.
