Unwanteds Quests series.
In this spinoff series set ten years after the Unwanteds, twins Thisbe and Fifer (Alex's sisters) seize the chance for adventure when a dragon begs the Artiméans to save his enslaved siblings. McMann explores the consequences of rushing into danger without preparation. The pace of the predictable plot lags midway, but the cliffhanger ending will leave readers eager for book two.
