Once a daughter of nobility, she is now fighting to survive…

In just one day, sixteen-year-old Jade Sol has lost her father, her home, and the life she once knew. Now on the run from the Vanshian royal guard in a mechanical centipede, she sets off on a journey to help her father escape the Isle of Dragons, a land of untamed magic that her father was banished to for the secrets he holds.

Secrets that Jade now possesses.
Secrets the Vanshian noble's would do anything to get their hands on.

Die-hard readers of Angelique S. Anderson’s Dracosinum Tales and Jessica Drake’s Dragon Riders of Elantia series will find L. A. Thompson’s writing magnetic, impassioned, and clever in this novel’s twisting plot – the first in a trilogy – where steampunk technology and high fantasy clash.

L.A. Thompson’s steampunk heroine is back in this richly imaginative second installment in the Isle of Dragons trilogy. Jade Sol embarks on quest to find a mysterious magic library that holds the key to winning the war against the corrupt King Jarrod.

Jade and Kaylen, childhood friends turned rivals, now race to find a portal located in an ancient library hidden from mankind for years that will either doom or save their world. To follow the king's orders and regain all she's lost, Kaylen must decide what, and who, she is willing to sacrifice. Can Jade, the dragon-taming witch Miria, and the pragmatic pod inventor Dan race against the clock and stop Kaylen from opening the gateway between realms before it’s too late?

Fans of Jeff Gunzel’s The Legend of the Gate Keeper series and Cecilia Dominic’s The Art of Piracy will be enthralled with L.A. Thompson’s brilliant and magnetic storytelling.

Secrets are revealed and alliances are tested as the final battle between the rebels and King Jarrod’s forces looms ahead in the third book in the Isle of Dragons series.

As the Isle of Dragons crumbles around them, Jade Sol and her friends must pick up the pieces of the remaining rebel forces and band together one last time. With the gateway between the spirit and human realm now open, King Jarrod is making plans to fulfill the prophecy to kill the earth spirit. As the land crumbles around them, Jade must uncover the truth about the prophecy and destroy the final stone. Will Jade be able to save everyone, and herself, before it's too late?
