Newfound friends must overcome countless danger in a quest to save the world in this epic sequel of the Storm Dragons saga!

REMY has come a long way from his life as a scrappy orphan on Cutthroat Wedge. Still on the run from the evil pirate Jhaeros, Remy and his dragon, Storm, set out to find a True Dragon, the only creature old enough to understand why the magic that powers their floating islands is dying. After a confession from a long-forgotten sky knight about the remote location of a True Dragon, Remy is more determined than ever to help save the day. But this is easier said than done when an ancient force has done everything in its power to keep that True Dragon hidden.

GEM is ready to harness magic to protect her friends, but training is impossible now that she’s far away from the College of Magic. That is, until she teams up with the surly wizard Lysander aboard the Queen’s Blade, forming a begrudging partnership and beginning a journey to master magic. As Gem grows stronger, so does her desire to live up to her title as the princess by halting the kingdom’s impending doom. But what good is revealing the truth about the dire state of the world if nobody will listen?

To save their realm, Remy, Gem, and Storm must evade the king’s guards, discover the hidden truths about the past, and face down a vengeful villain none of them saw coming. Together they will discover who they are, what it means to be a good friend, and what it takes to be a hero.

Read full series description

At the heart of this saga is Remy, an orphan with little more than his wits to survive on the harsh streets of Cutthroat Wedge. When he stumbles upon a mysterious baby dragon—believed to be long extinct—he finds himself entangled in a journey that will challenge everything he knows about destiny. His path crosses with Gem, a fierce princess-in-training and storm mage, who is fighting to keep her kingdom from being swallowed by the very storm that powers their world. Together, they must face ancient secrets, perilous landscapes, and a web of magic that could either save or destroy them.

The world of Storm Dragon is unlike anything you've encountered before. Floating islands hover high above a swirling, ever-changing Maelstrom—an immense magical storm that gives life to both the land and its creatures. Here, dragons are more than myths; they are the guardians of powerful secrets and the key to maintaining the delicate balance between magic and nature. Julie Kagawa builds a universe where each island, each character, and each dragon carries with it a piece of the grand puzzle that must be solved if the world is to survive.

Remy and Gem's evolving bond forms the emotional core of the series, their growth as individuals and allies unfolding as they face immense challenges. The magical landscapes and diverse characters they encounter only add to the story’s depth, from sky pirates to wise knights, all of whom have their own role to play in the fate of the world.

Themes of friendship, destiny, and the power of choice echo through the series as Remy and Gem grapple with the weight of their actions and their shared role in a conflict that could alter the course of history. Their journey is not just about saving their world—it’s about finding their place within it.

With its intricate world-building, layered characters, and thrilling twists, Storm Dragon captures the heart of anyone who loves magical realms, epic adventures, and dragons that are much more than just fire-breathing beasts. If you’re searching for a series that offers both high stakes and rich, immersive storytelling, Storm Dragon delivers on every level, inviting readers to lose themselves in a world where the skies are anything but safe.
