Synopsis

"Scorched is fun, fast, and greatly entertaining, a heart-pounding, twisty, time-travel fantasy with delicious dragon mythology!" --Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Lane and Blue Bloods series

Saving the dragons could save the world...or start the apocalypse

Trinity Foxx is used to her grandfather's crazy stories, so she doesn't believe the latest treasure he brought home to their failing West Texas museum is a real dragon's egg. Not until Connor Jacks, a dragon hunter from the future, tells Trinity that the world is about to be wiped out by a fiery dragon war--unless they find a way to stop it.

But Connor's not the only one after the egg. His twin brother Caleb believes dragons have the power to save mankind and must be protected. Caleb has seen too many dragons destroyed in the war-scorched future--he'll do whatever it takes to save this one.

With a host of enemies hot on her heels, Trinity must decide who to believe. Connor the brave solider? Caleb the cocky rebel? Or the baby dragon that's starting to whisper to her...saying they are destined? The fate of the world may depend on her choice.

About this title

Review:

"A smoking triptych of time traveling, dubious double-crossing and enough dragons to sate the hungriest of gamers and fantasy fiends." - Kirkus

"Mancusi grabs readers and drags them into this fantastic world full of time-travel paradoxes, mythical creatures and romance. The beginning of a trilogy you won't want to miss!" - RT Book Reviews, 4 stars

"Exciting and original . . . a light, fun, unique take on apocalypse fiction." - School Library Journal

"Dragons, mind powers, kickass heroine and hot twins? Book, you had me at hello." - Forever Young Adult

"I LOVED Scorched! Most of all, I adored the story. That's what rocked this book. I mean, dragons? DRAGONS!! YES! DRAGONS!...But we also have time travel and cool gadgets from the future. I thought the combination was really unique, and I loved reading a dragon book that actually takes place in present day (rather than in a pure medieval-ish fantasy world)." - Nose Graze

"Tense and action-packed. It's a brave new world, and I reveled in every page!" - Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of Firelight

"Flashbacks and alternating points of view from Trinity, Caleb, and Connor keep the action moving . . . Each character is flawed and human, forced to deal with the enormity of the impossible decisions they must make." - Booklist

"An engaging YA dragon fantasy." - Fresh Fiction, Fresh Pick

" "I am really obsessed with Scorched!" says Gwen Reyes from Fresh Fiction" - Good Morning, Texas

"Scorched is fun, fast and greatly entertaining, a heart-pounding, twisty, time-travel fantasy with delicious dragon mythology!" - Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times bestselling author of The Au Pairs and Blue Bloods series
