Gr 8 Up—Kyrtenebre is a great dragon who often terrorizes the city of Glaucia, where Princess Adariel, daughter of the great King Alances, lives. A prophecy foretells that Princess Adariel will one day give birth to a son who will be a grand king and who will destroy Kyrtenebre. To prevent this from happening, Kyrtenebre sends his army of gramas to destroy the city, unaware that King Alances has already forced his daughter to flee to safety. Traveling alone, Adariel comes across soldiers making their way back from Glaucia, and she meets general Aomal, who tells of the destruction and death they found in Glaucia. Adariel waits to hear news of her father since he was not among those who lost their lives. She must make her way without arousing too much suspicion, and without betraying her false identity, in order to find out what happened to her father and to fulfill the prophecy that will destroy Kyrtenebre. Told with fantastic detail and full of interesting world-building, this Spanish-language book will capture readers from the first chapter, and leave them anxious for the sequel.
VERDICT Recommended for YA collections in need of Spanish-language fantasy and adventure titles.
