The summer holidays can't come soon enough for Smolder.

Finding it increasingly difficult to harmonise the lessons of the School of Friendship with her innate dragon nature, she wants nothing more than to kick back with her friends and to forget the tug-of-war battles raging in her heart and head.

But when they travel to a village trapped by a terrible curse, those experiences become profound and life-changing, for Smolder and Meadowbrook both.
