Sobre aquest llibre

For ages 9-12. Jules has been stuck in the Commons all of her deprived life. Now comes her fourteenth birthday and a chance to test for Solomon's University of Wizardry. She can finally quit pretending to have only five senses. Through her seventh, she can channel the Seven Sources and cast magic. She has kept this secret hidden better than her fear of heights or blistering temper. The seventh son of a mighty Sylverr dragon, Lancelor was expected to be a powerful windsinger. Instead, at the size of an eagle, Lance is a lazy and accident-prone runt. When his magic is discovered to be chaotic magick, he escapes Castle Yonder barely ahead of the royal guard. Dragon Pawns is the first in the Jules and the Runt Dragon trilogy, a fun and thought-provoking blend of humor, mysteries and thrills.
