Sensing none, they started toward it.Įach footstep crackled. Thisbe paused to look, trying to discern between shadows and crevices, and watching for any sign of danger. They’d never come across something like this before. She jabbed Thisbe with her elbow and pointed excitedly at it. Not all of Artimé’s creatures were dangerous, but the ones banished to the jungle most certainly were.Īs the girls crept forward to a small clearing, Fifer spied an entrance to a dark cave some distance away. Creations carved from stone or molded from clay and brought to life with strong magic in the early days of Artimé. There were horrible living statues and creatures here that would attack them, he’d said. Much farther than their brother, Alex, the leader of the magical world, would allow. They were far deeper inside the jungle of Artimé than they’d ever ventured before.

Thisbe Stowe glided through the vines in the dim light, with her twin sister, Fifer, right behind her. Will their untrained abilities be enough to save the dragons-and themselves-when they come face-to-face with the Revinir? Excerpt Seeking a chance to right their wrong and escape their brother’s wrath, Thisbe, Fifer, and their friend Seth sneak away to rescue the dragons from grave peril.

The threat is soon forgotten, though, when Hux, the ice blue dragon, comes to Artimé bearing the horrible news that his siblings have been enslaved by the notoriously evil Revinir, ruler of the dragon land.

But when they accidentally use their magic in the jungle of Artimé to strike down a beloved creature, Alex is furious, and threatens to lock them away until they can learn to control their power. They’re naturally more gifted than even their brother, Alex, the head mage of Artimé, could hope to be. Identical twins Fifer and Thisbe Stowe have amazing yet uncontrollable magical abilities. Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and Artimé, their younger twin sisters journey beyond the islands in this New York Times bestselling first novel of a new sequel series to The Unwanteds, which Kirkus Reviews called “ The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.”
