Of Scars and Scales - Paperback

by Robin Winckler (Author)

Book two in The Legends of Anticuus series.

Magic holds many mysteries-one being the fine line between life and death. Those who walk it pay the price with their souls, but the power they gain makes them fearsome foes.

With the spellbook destroyed and their only lead on the dragonborn Aurum gone, Tobias and the others struggle to move forward. It's only a matter of time before Aurum strikes again, but how can they hope to defeat such an ancient and powerful enemy?

When a pair of young Dragon Riders appear with information about Aurum, Tobias and Eira make a deal with them: they will help unravel the mystery of the Shadowslayer, a ghost that may hold ties to the dragonborn, if the Dragon Riders will lend their power to kill Aurum.

However, the Dragon Riders are not without their own share of secrets, and the lies they speak sow nothing but discord. If Tobias wishes to stop Aurum, he must make a choice: trust his allies despite their lies, or risk losing everything he holds dear.
