Join the authors at #MFRWHooks here http://mfrwbookhooks.blogspot.com for some great books. Mine is Children of Fyre
BLURB:
In this return to the Island of Fyre, each of the heros and heroines of the three previous books have children. Lorton is the youngest son of the Wizards of Fyre and he has bonded with the yellow dragon.
The dragon through the magic of the stones has been rejuvenated and is now green. Dragon sends Lorton to travel to where the Dragons of Fyre are raised. There he meets Arkon son of the hero and heroine of the Dragons of Fyre.
There have been four eggs laid and there must be two young men and two young women found to bond with them. On the island where the evil wizards were exiled, Cerene has grown up as little more than a slave. She can use all the fyrestones unlike her father. She learns about the kidnapping of Riara, daughter of the hero and heroine of the Temple of Fyre and vows to save her.
The four must unite with their dragons and finally destroy the evil.
EXCERPT:
So the wizards meet.
She would hear their plans.
With stealth she found the spot in the wooden fence where
she had loosened boards. She slid them aside and slipped into the yard. When
she reached the rear entrance, she stepped into the narrow hall. A smile curved
her mouth. Once inside the passage, ten steps would take her to the place where
she could see and hear the wizards.
Her fingers found the pattern on the stone. Silently the
wall parted revealing a wide area that became a narrow passage. She entered and
paused to allow her eyes to adjust to the dim light. Walking into the passage,
she counted her steps and took care not to raise dust to make her sneeze. Her
first visit to these passages had nearly revealed her presence. She’d removed
the cobwebs and swept most of the accumulated dust.
At the tenth step, she halted and pressed her face to the
wall where a pair of holes allowed her to view the happenings. She saw the
conference table and the eight remaining wizards. Since their exile here on the
isle where they had once lived had begun, most of the wizards from the captured
Citadel had died. Of the nine, only two were first level.
Cemon, chief wizard and her father entered the room. He
raised his ironwood tipped wand. The white stone on the tip remained unlit. He
rapped the table. “We are gathered here to find a solution to our problems. Our
supply of white fyrestones dwindles. Soon there will be none.”
Zondo, her father’s second snorted. “All such stones are
found on the Island
of Fyre
Her father nodded. “For the present we must learn ways to
keep the ones we have active.”
One of the second level wizards shook his head. “Yet you
call on us to join in calling a trader’s ship.”
Zondo leaned forward. “You must listen to Cemon. If we
join our powers none of the stones will die. We must call our kin.”
“Even if a trader arrives, what can they do to help us?”
the protester asked. “They are banned from landing on the Island .”
Cemon pounded the table. “Two decades and five years have
passed since we were driven from Fyre. Those who drove us away have forgotten
our existence.”
The sole dissenter laughed. “Do you propose we retake the
Citadel? Impossible.”
“In due time we will live there again,” her father said. “First
we must amass a store of white fyrestones. I have a plan.”
“Where will you find such a treasure?”
Cemon’s laughter filled the room and seeped into Cerene’s
hiding place. A chill washed through her. “The temple priestesses have all the
whites we could desire. They even allow commoners with a tinge of power to use
those stones.”

I always worry when someone says, "I have a plan." lol
I wonder what she's thinking of doing with all this information she's overheard.
