The epic, middle grade fantasy continues in Book Two of the Songs of Magic trilogy!

Having upset the Hamelyn Piper's dastardly plan to build an army through songs of mind control, 13-year-old Piper, Patch Brightwater, must foil the escaped villain's next sinister plot: assembling a suit of immortal armor. Accompanied by Wren, a girl cursed to live as a rat, and Barver, a fire-breathing dracogriff, Patch seeks the aid of old friends, legendary heroes, and a near-dead sorcerer.

Embark on another adventure with the motley trio as they clash with pirates of the Eastern Seas, uncover secrets of the griffins, and dabble with magic to undo past wrongs and forge their own offense before it's too late.

S. A. Patrick’s Songs of Magic trilogy is a brilliant retelling of one of the darkest legends of all time, "The Piper of Hamelyn." Combining folklore with the very best of modern storytelling, the books will delight young fantasy fans who are hungry for perilous quests, friendships forged on the road, and an inventive magic system that thrills the imagination.

 

Grab book 1, A DARKENING OF DRAGONS now!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Dragons, and griffins, and dracogriffs, oh my... and that's without nary a mention of witches, sorcery, magical Pipers, diabolical schemes, and pure evil. So, do I have your attention now?

It was great being back amongst these friends again, even if there was so much trouble brewing and so much more danger still to come. I thoroughly appreciated the story recap at the beginning because although I read the first book, it's been a while, so that little intro made it all come rushing back to the forefront of my mind and I was ready for adventure once again. That being said, while it affords you a refresher, if certainly recommend reading book one, A DARKENING OF DRAGONS, before diving into this one... it'll just flesh everything out that much MORE. Anywho...

Striding into danger with these friends was a pleasure, and that's not something I say lightly! Patch always underestimates himself, and without a doubt is his harshest critic, but he has such a true heart, and is so very brave, even when fear takes hold of his actions. Wren is so much more than whatever form she possesses, smarter than many, but not prideful,  as could be assumed, and with such a penchant for magic. Barver may not be human, but his magical mixed lineage gives him enough hardships of his own and yet he's his own creature. Even when pressed, he holds not with one side or the other, but with what's right, and his friends... and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

It's a wild and magically infused story great for Middle Grade Fantasy fans who aren't afraid to take on evil to save the world, so long as they've got their friends by their side.
