Always be polite to dragons! That's what Daystar's mother, Queen Cimorene, taught him . . . and it's a very wise lesson-one that might just help him after his mom hands him a magic sword and kicks him out of the house. But the tricky part is figuring out what he's supposed to do with the magic sword. Where is he supposed to go? And why does everyone he meets seem to know who he is? Luckily, a particularly hotheaded fire-witch, a very verbose lizard, and a badly behaved baby dragon help him figure it all out. New and old fans will delight in this wonderful repackaged edition that includes a new introduction by the author. AGES: 10-13 AUTHOR: Patricia C. Wrede has written many novels, including all four books in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles as well as 'Sorcery and Cecilia', 'The Grand Tour', and 'The Mislaid Magician', co-written with Caroline Stevermer.

"This deeply enjoyable journey to Liavek will be of interest to longtime fans and newcomers alike."—?PUBLISHERS WEEKLY? Two stalwarts of science fiction combine to pen a dazzling set of stories wild and whimsical, thrilling and powerful. Liavek is a hot, busy trade city, situated on the southern shore of the Sea of Luck at the mouth of the Cat River. In Liavek, magic is based on one’s “birth luck” and the length of time one’s mother was in labor. Everyone has luck, but using it is another matter. Luck, or magic, must be invested annually in some object outside oneself; only then can it be used to power spells. And investing one’s magic is difficult and dangerous. Prospective magicians who fail find their magic draining away, and with it, their life. From that mad and wonderful seed, Wrede and Dean create an enthralling set of stories, where a god is trapped in the body of a chipmunk, where a play has the potential to incite a riot and change a nation, and where a family is coming apart at the seams, and going to enormous lengths to stitch itself back together. All of the stories are tied together by the unforgettable character of Granny, Ka’Riatha—the one the Book of Curses calls the Guardian of the S’Rian Gods. Granny moves through each story, casting spells and bringing her tart brand of wisdom to a world come undone. This spellbinding set is perfect for fans of both titans of the genre, and will bring equal parts thrilled gasps and charmed smiles to readers everywhere.
