Grade Level: 3 - 7

If you love fantasy, you’ll love this novel! When I read it, only Book 1 existed, and I remember wanting more. I’m glad it’s now part of a series of three novels.
 
Book 1 is a classic quest with three hooks to reel you into the story. The first, a dog-like species who have been hunted to death and might go extinct. Byx thinks she’s the last of the Dairnes so she goes on a quest to see if it’s true. That’s the second hook. She’s heard a rumor some are hidden away. And the final hook, the friends, allies, and enemies Byx meets as she searches through a war-torn kingdom for another Dairne. Another creature who looks like her.
