The hunt of the dragon

Summary: Elayne is struggling with her ordinary life in New York City. Until she hears that a monster has been caught in the city's sewers - a snake with a head at either end - and Elayne knows her ordinary life is over. For the monster has come from Goloth, land of the fabulous beast. And it's come to take her back. She doesn't want to go - there are so many ways to die in that place. But when her father crosses over, she knows she has no choice. Yet this is a Goloth ripped apart by civil war...that her actions helped start! Worse - the unicorns, who are guardians of that world, have vanished, including her beloved Moonspill. But more startling that that: Tiamat, queen of dragons, has woken from her five-hundred-year sleep. And she has plans for Elayne. Terrible plans. Summoned by a dragon, attacked by griffins, betrayed by pirates, forced to fight, Elayne will need ever ounce of her courage to rescue her father, keep her best friend alive, and unite a realm, all while trying not to fall in love with the former tyrant-king! Yet this she knows: if she is to have any hope of saving Goloth from total destruction, she must bring back the unicorns!

    A page-turning story that moves between the modern world of a teenager and a dangerous world where mythical legends live.


    Two years have passed since Elayne returned from the magical world behind the unicorn tapestries in the Cloisters Museum of New York, and things finally seem to be settling down. But when reports start coming in on the news about an unusual two-headed snake that was caught in the city's sewers, Elayne knows that the world of Goloth is not quite ready to let her go yet. After her father disappears, Elayne suspects where she must go to find him. Returning to Goloth, Land of the Fabulous Beast, everything seems to have changed. The land is now torn by bloody civil war and poverty and plague, as well as a new threat off Goloth's shores that has been waiting eagerly for Elayne's arrival. The prospect of romance emerges from the most unexpected of places. Thrust into this world of danger and action--one in which a dragon holds terrifying power--Elayne must join forces with old enemies and journey far to find the great unicorn Moonspill if she is to have any thope of saving Goloth--and her father--from total destruction.
