The Unwanteds Quests: Dragon Bones is the second book in The Unwanteds Quests series written by Lisa McMann.

Summary

The Artiméans have suffered some devastating blows.

After years of peace, the recent daring adventure of twins Thisbe and Fifer Stowe have brought about dire consequences. Thisbe has been captured, Fifer is injured, and Sky is lost at sea. The twins’ older brother Alex, head mage of Artimé, is paralyzed with fear of losing anyone else he loves. Fifer must convince him to finally trust her to help in the battle ahead now that their true enemy has been revealed.

Meanwhile Thisbe is trapped underground in the catacombs, where the ancient dragon rulers are buried. Along with fellow prisoners, Thisbe’s job is to transport dragon bones from her crypt to the extracting room, where others extract the magical properties dormant in the bones. When it appears no one is coming back to rescue her, Thisbe must train in secret, trying to learn how to control her fiery magic and use it to escape. As her situation becomes more grave, she might even have to align herself with the ultimate evil.

Unfortunately, it's a risk she has to take.

Cover

The cover shows Crow (left) and Fifer (right) flying into Grimere with Fifer's falcons.

Inaccuracies

  • Crow's hair is a dark brown, not black, and should be tied back.
  • Both Fifer and Crow are whitewashed here. Their skin should be much darker. (It's harder to see on Crow, because he's in shadow)
  • They should have a lot more space on there; there's enough space for three people to fit comfortably in the books.
  • Where is this? That mountainside entrance with dragon skulls is not a thing anywhere in Grimere.
  • The falcons had the ropes around their necks/chests, not held in their talons.
