The Fiery Aftermath - Patton L.R.

The battle between light and dark twists in every heart.

The Weeping Woods has been all but destroyed by the fire of dragons. But still Maude and the lost children of Fairendale, who miraculously escaped from the dragon army and the king’s men, venture inside and attempt yet another hiding place—this one without their beloved Arthur, who disappeared in the battle with the dragons.

Meanwhile, Prince Virgil’s heart becomes a battleground for light and dark, the dragons of Morad consider what it might mean to seek vengeance for a violated treaty, and the people of Fairendale are spurred by the burning of the woods to make a drastic move of their own—will they fight cruelty with cruelty, or will they exercise mercy on the very one who stole their children from their homes?

The Fiery Aftermath is the fifth book in the Fairendale series, a magical middle grade series that explores the world of fairy tales, dragons, wizards, and other magical creatures. The world of Fairendale revolves around villains and heroes—all on a quest for what they believe is right. But one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero. Throughout the series, the story of King Willis and his determination to keep the throne is woven into the story of his son, Prince Virgil, heir to the throne and friend to the village children, and the story of fairy tale children fleeing for their lives—children who become what we know as fairy tale villains, for one good reason or another.

But, remember, one cannot always know, at first glance, who is the villain and who is the hero.
