From New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Roux and acclaimed artist Tim Probert comes the thrilling third novel in the original Dungeons & Dragons middle grade series!

Zelli Stormclash and the Danger Club have only one goal: save their friend Bauble from the evil clutches of Elgred Morbide. There's only one problem—the evil machinations of Morbide's selfish plots have come to a head, and the final battle for Dungeon Academy has already begun. Deep beneath the desert, a monstrous dracolich is about to be unleashed, an evil, undead dragon bent on revenge against everything in her path.

Zelli is no longer on a rescue mission but a fated quest to save Dungeon Academy, Faerun, and all the Forgotten Realms. Our motley crew of heroes must rise to the occasion and wield the most important weapon an adventurer can carry: hope. Against impossible odds, the Danger Club—members old and new—must take one last stand together and fight like never before . . . till the very end.

Join the Danger Club in this final tale of daring rescue, selfless sacrifice, and scale-raising adventure!

      The stakes go up considerably in this trilogy closer when the multispecies young heroes of the Danger Club set out to rescue their kidnapped friends. What with Bauble and Flash being in the clutches of necromancer Elgred Morbide, who's on the verge of raising the mighty dragon An'Kizhek in order to give the monsters a decided advantage in their long war with the adventurers, the club members have their work cut out for them. As it turns out, only an alliance between monsters and adventurers will give anyone a chance of surviving the dragon's rise. Forging that connection will require brown-skinned Zellidora Stormclash to shed her false horns and tail, reveal herself as fully human, and accept that since it was Khalira Steelstrike, her own barbarian grandmother, who set these events in motion, it's up to her to make amends. Fortunately for readers who need everything spelled out, not only is Morbide more than willing to crow about all his plans, but so, too, is Roux eager to wallop readers over the head with messages about being true to oneself and one's friends. Unfortunately, the price of ultimate triumph is an event that casts a spell of poignancy over the story's end, with the club's old members making way for a new generation. Probert's delicate grayscale illustrations awash in varying shades of blue add to the story's dynamism and emotional impact. A brisk concluding round of swords, sorcery, and self-improvement.(Fantasy. 8-12)
