The exciting second book in the fantastical series for ages 10-14 by NYT bestselling author, Kelley Armstrong.

Rowan is now the Royal Monster Hunter, and her twin brother, Rhydd, is destined to be king. But her mother's cousin Heward is still determined that his children be the ones to inherit the titles, and will stop at nothing to show that Rowan and Rhydd are too immature to properly lead. After the gryphon that Rowan captured in Book One gives birth but then dies, Rowan is left with a baby gryphon she knows she cannot keep. And it grows faster than anyone can imagine . . .
In order to save face after an accident involving the troublesome gryphon, Rowan, with the help of her friends Dain and Alianor, along with an entourage of monstrous companions, must make a journey to the mountains to release the gryphon back into the wild. What starts off as a simple enough task soon becomes a dangerous quest, as the group encounters numerous rare and deadly monsters along the way, including wyverns and ceffyl-dwrs. Nothing is easy when you're a "monster magnet" like Rowan.
Can she prove herself worthy of the title of Royal Monster Hunter? Find out in this exciting second book in the Royal Guide to Monster Slaying series!

Zusammenfassung
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR!

SECOND NOVEL IN A NEW SERIES AIMED AT MIDDLE-GRADE READERS: Kelley has co-written a middle-grade series (Blackwell Pages, Little, Brown) with Melissa Marr, but after several YA thriller novels, this is her first solo foray back to a younger age.

EXCITING ADVENTURE: Non-stop action, plus lots of different monsters-some overly affectionate, some grumpy and some downright dangerous-makes for a compelling journey!

STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST: Rowan is a positive role model for young readers-a smart and physically fit girl who is learning how to be a strong leader.

PERFECT FOR BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS: Rowan's yearning for adventurous monster slaying will appeal to both girls and boys-and there are other strong male characters, including her twin brother, Rhydd, and friend, Dain.

IMPRESSIVE SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWING: 42k Twitter followers, 66k Facebook followers and a large presence on Tumblr.

BONUS BACK MATTER: There will be an eight-page field guide to some of the monsters in the story, with illustrations by Xavière Daumarie, who has provided illustrations for other Kelley Armstrong books, including two graphic novels.
