Overall Content Rating: Parental Guidance PG
This installment continues a fantasy adventure series with magic, travel, pirates, pilots, and ongoing plot threads from earlier books. Couples who appeared in prior volumes see their bonds grow; dialogue may include mild teasing with a romantic edge, without explicit sexual description on the page. Action drives much of the story: enemies are opposed in combat-style set pieces, including situations where characters run low on ammunition and allies intervene. Reviewers who care about language and graphic content describe the writing as comparatively clean, with adventure and relationship development rather than heavy profanity, crude insults, or graphic violence.

About this book
Everyone knows dragons have been extinct for over a thousand years. Everyone is wrong. At least one dragon remains, and military scientists from the Cofah Empire are experimenting with its blood, using the magical substance to power deadly new weapons that could be used to bring the world to its knees. That's a concern for Zirkander, Cas, and the rest of the Iskandians, but all Tolemek wants is to find his missing sister.

What use the Cofah have for her, Tolemek can only guess, but he is certain she is in danger. He must save her before it's too late. But her fate is inexplicably tied to the dragon's, and he must find it to find her. Read more
