Synopsis

The barrier is down.War is brewing.Dragons fill the skies once more.Bakari is the first dragon rider in centuries but he alone cannot subdue the growing tensions among the kingdoms around Alaris. He begins a quest to find more dragon riders -- the only way to secure peace in the fractured lands around him. Roland Tyre seizes control of the Citadel and carefully plays both sides -- but his immense charm and considerable wizard powers may prove useless against a deadly and hidden enemy. Battle Wizard Alli Stenos is in the thick of every fight she can find and only wants to secure an end to the violence.As the three young wizards, Bakari, Roland and Alli become more powerful than many of their elders, will that be enough to keep Alaris, and the surrounding kingdoms, from descending into all out war?If you love magic, wizards, sword & Sorcery, and of course dragons, you won’t be disappointed with the second book in The Alaris Chronicles.

Review

"Dragon Rider is packed with action, adventure and a well-thought fantasy world. In a sort of collage of a wide variety of fantasy literature, from Lord of the Rings to The Wheel of Time, Mike Shelton goes into the ugliness of power and politics in a very interesting way, creating this type of introductory and age-appropriate version of Game of Thrones for kids. I think any tween or teen, from age ten on, would love to immerse themselves in this world of treason and power, where children are the ones who hold everyone in check." - Readers' Favorite

The amazing adventure of three young wizards, Bakari, Roland and Alli continues in book two, The Dragon Rider. The second book in this series, is even more exciting than the first novel - with dragons, war, scheming and more. You literally do not want to put this book down in fear of missing what happens next...The Dragon Rider is an excellent novel for young adults and adults who love a well written science fiction novel. Full of action, suspense and schemes you never see coming. I loved every moment of book two! - WorkingMommyJournal.ca

"Reminiscent of"Game of Thrones", The Dragon Rider is a less complicated version, more suitable for children.  It has treason, power struggles, flawed characters readers can root for, and extraordinary world building...Shelton has penned a solid young adult fantasy story with unexpected twists and turns!" - Majanka Verstraete InD'tale Magazine
