In the cliff dwellings of the Veiled Canyon, where Katsina teach wizards and dragons how to work magic, a young dragon mage named Boone lands himself in a heap of trouble when his attempts at working a spell go wrong. To keep the mistake hidden from the Katsina, and avoid being expelled, Boone enlists the help of his friend Willard. Together, they travel to the prison cell of a dark wizard to enlist his help in reversing the spell. But dark wizards can’t exactly be trusted, and Boone and Willard get into more hot water than they’ve ever been in before. This short story prequel to Fury of the Storm Wizard offers adventure and fantasy for kids 9-12 and young adult readers alike.
