MIRRORSTONE® FEEDS APPETITE FOR DRAGON LOREWITH DRAGON CODEX NOVELS

Renton, WA - In Mirrorstone’s New York Times bestseller A Practical Guide to Dragons, kids learned the distinguishing features of dragons. Young readers with the courage to explore the world of dragons found that there were two kinds: evil chromatic dragons—red, black, green, white, and blue—and benevolent metallic dragons—brass, bronze, copper, gold, and silver. Now, for kids who devoured the detailed, lavishly-illustrated A Practical Guide to Dragons, Mirrorstone fires up fall with a new Dragon Codex companion novel, Silver Dragon Codex.

Each Dragon Codex novel takes one type of dragon and weaves a spellbinding story around it, alternating between good (metallic) and evil (chromatic) dragons. Fantasy fans ages 8-12 will gobble up these suspenseful, action-packed tales of dragons and the young mortals who dare to confront them.

Silver Dragon Codex is the story of Jace, a highwire circus acrobat whose quest to clear a silver dragon’s name leads him into danger—and a thrilling ride on dragonback.

Previous Dragon Codex novels spin equally fantastical tales. In Green Dragon Codex, Scamp, a boy, finds an enchanted green dragon egg and befriends the wyrmling when it hatches, finding it hard to believe the cute baby dragon will grow up to be evil. Red Dragon Codex features a malevolent Red—selfish, greedy, ferocious, and cruel. In Bronze Dragon Codex, a young Bronze has good reason to think humans are evil, even though the shapeshifting, sea-loving, playful Bronzes are known for helping humans. In Black Dragon Codex, a fierce, cunning, foul-tempered Black is transformed into a teenage boy, while Brass Dragon Codex features Kyani, a typically talkative young Brass who joins forces with a clever, inventive young gnome named Hector, after Kyani’s parents are killed by the lightning bolts of a deadly blue dragon.
