If the guards of a portal to another world called out to you, would you answer? Fourteen-year-old Maggie did. Afterwards, Maggie must learn what it means to be a dragon girl and to use her wits to win a place among Elan's royalty in the plant, animal, and human realms. She must also stay on her toes. Someone is plotting to destroy the ruling family, including Maggie's best friend, Ethan, the Sky Prince. And if that isn't enough, Elan's queen wants Maggie's help in avoiding a looming natural disaster and to figure out what has happened to the dragons, the once great masters of the sky. Women with wings, trees that ring, people who resemble noble creatures, and other unimaginable wonders that cannot be found anywhere on Earth-Maggie discovers all of these and more in her quest for The Ancients. But can she learn what she needs to know before disaster strikes? Maggie hopes so. If not, she may very well fail to protect Elan's rulers, rescue its environment, and to decipher the mystery surrounding the fearsome creatures only she can save.
