Book Description

The Starry Window is an urban fantasy for young readers. Amelia, accidentally part-dragon, and her cousin Simon are after a secret that threatens both sleepy little Dunstone and the dragon world of Mythrin. Something has sickened the hidden gates and passages linking Earth and Mythrin, with horrible results. When two memoryless strangers appear in Dunstone, Amelia knows the boy is her dragon friend Ty. But who is the man with lilac eyes? Amelia and Simon trace the poison to Dunstone's new mall, where escalators are turning carnivorous, and to the grim jail and school that stood there before. The world gate in the caves beneath has gone rotten, and Simon hears a boy's voice calling for help in the passage. Answering the call sends the cousins on a journey through the one gate they fear, and into the shadow lands beyond. The Starry Window is the sequel to The Ruby Kingdom and The Prism Blade, Books 1 and 2 of the Passage to Mythrin series.
