Billy Chan and his friends are not having a very relaxing summer. Their friend, Dylan, has been kidnapped by the evil Dragon of Death and it’s up to them to travel through time, back to the dangerous Dragon Realm, in order to save him. Luckily they have their own dragons on side, but they’ll need to collect eight magical pearls if they’re to amass enough power to destroy the Dragon of Death and her followers for good. So begins an epic quest that will take them to the depths of the Frozen Wasteland and the imperial palaces of Ancient China. But can good triumph evil…?

AUTHOR KALYNN BAYRON _______________ 'This duology closer delves

dead, but there is one chance to bring her back: find the last
piece of the deadly Absyrtus Heart. If Bri is to locate the missing
piece, she must turn to the blood relatives she's never known,
learn of their secret powers and take her place in their ancient
lineage. But Bri is not the only one who wants the Heart, and her
enemies will stop at nothing to fulfil their own ruthless plans.
Strengthened by the sisterhood of ancient magic, can she harness
her power to save the people she loves most? Kalynn Bayron,
bestselling author of Cinderella is Dead and This Poison Heart,
returns with the second and final book in this stunning, empowering
and inclusive fantasy duology.
In the 21st century, a scientist uncovers their Victorian
ancestor's notebook in a box. This ancestor is Dr McCreebor - an
eminent explorer, philosopher and collector of the very strange and
truly creepy. Dr McCreebor's book is filled with the dark and
disturbing stories he has collected on his travels around the
world. And now, after over 125 years in a dusty attic, Dr
McCreebor's writings can be read... by only the bravest. Discover
the fascinating stories behind a series of objects, people and
placesin every chapter. McCreebor writes from a Victorian
perspective - and his descendant isn't afraid to write notes in the
margins, bringing the science into the 21st century. Uncover
Artificalia (man-made objects), Naturalia (natural creatures and
beings), Spiritualis (the spirit world), ScelereSupplicium (crime
and punishment), Scientifica (scientific tools), Magicae (magical
objects) and Morteum (skulls, bodies and more). Steampunk
illustrator Celsius Pictor intricately illustrates McCreebor's
sketches, maps, records and photographs. From shrunken heads to
witches' charms, saints' blood to graverobbers' remains, hangman's
salve to trepanning tools, this book is a peek into our grisly and
macabre past.
Biographies of apparent wonder-workers, some of whom were masters of illusion and some of whom actually claimed to have psychic powers, including Daniel Home, Harry Houdini, and Edgar Cayce.
