Dragon Queen

He thought red dragons were scary. That was before he went to work for a green one. Griffin came home a hero, and now he's paying the price: the red queen is more determined than ever to destroy Pendralyn, and the only weapon they had against her is gone. New weapons will require new alliances, so when the green dragons extend a mysterious invitation to the magisters, all are eager to accept. Or nearly all. Unfortunately for Griffin, the imperious, intractable greenwing elder has taken a particular interest in him. To win her aid, he must embark on a quest for the fabled harp of stone, pitting him against dark magicians, hidden traitors, and even the dead. Not to mention the single most irritating person he's ever met. As his enemies close in, the fate of his beloved magistery becomes entangled with that of dragonkind itself. Griffin must find a way to save them all-or be the first to burn.

At the cusp of the final battle, one man stands ready. Or not. War looms on the horizon. The fates of mankind and dragonkind alike hang in the balance. And as tensions rise and allegiances shift, someone dear to Griffin is taken by the enemy. Desperate, Griffin embarks on a rescue mission into hostile territory, where old grudges bring new dangers, and legendary monsters come to life. But even if he succeeds, it won't be enough. If he's to stop the redwings once and for all, Griffin must reach across the sea, beyond the grave, and into perhaps the most frightening place of all: his own heart. He thought nothing could be more hazardous than a dragon. He's about to find out how wrong he was.
