  Defeating the world-ending demon was only the beginning. Now Maine must wrestle with the very fabric of reality. 
   
   
   
  Maine defeated the Corrupter, saved the world, and is dating the man of her dreams. Things should be smooth sailing from now on. She deserves a boring, normal-ish life, doesn't she? 
   
   
   
  Fate has other ideas in mind. The defeat of the Corrupter left a power void that needs to be filled. 
   
   
   
  A strange mist surrounds Rainwater. Most dismiss it as a weird weather phenomenon, but creatures who enter the mists don't leave the same. 
   
   
   
  Maine has no choice but to figure out why the returned are enhanced as she fights powered-up mythical creatures and a Baba Yaga cabin with giant T-Rex legs. 
   
   
   
  As if that wasn't enough, Maine discovers that the mist has been sent by Chaos himself. What's that phrase about the hardest battles being reserved for the strongest warriors? 
   
   
   
  Maine, Noff, Sage, and their allies must stand up and fight once again. The danger posed by Chaos isn't a threat to bring about the end of days . . . It's threatening the end of all existence.

  Sherwood Anderson was born on 13th September 1876 in Camden, Ohio. 
   
  When his father’s business failed the family was forced to move on a regular basis before finally settling in Clyde, Ohio.   
   
  Anderson, one of 7 children, left school at 14 to take a number of jobs to help with the family finances. These were difficult years. 
   
  He moved to Chicago in search of opportunities before joining the Army for the US-Spanish War of 1898.  He then entered Wittenberg Academy in Springfield, Ohio to complete his education before moving back to Chicago to take up a writing job. 
   
  In 1904 he married Cornelia Lane, her family had resources and Anderson was keen, with this family backing, to run a business. 
   
  The early years of their marriage produced 3 children but a nervous breakdown in 1907 and another in 1912, despite his success as a business entrepreneur, resulted in him abandoning his family and deciding that a literary career would be best for him.   
   
  A move back to Chicago resulted in a job in advertising, a divorce from Cornelia and marriage to Tennessee Mitchell.  
   
  That same year his first book ‘Windy McPherson’s Son’ was released and in 1919, his most famous book, ‘Winesburg, Ohio’, a collection of short stories about life in an Ohio town was released. 
   
  Anderson continued to write short stories, novels and non-fiction but his only true bestseller came with ‘Dark Laughter’.  His influence on writers that followed, from Faulkner to Hemingway, was immense. He also married a further two times.   
   
  Sherwood Anderson died in in Colón, Panama, on the 8th March, 1941. He was 64. An autopsy revealed that a swallowed toothpick had resulted in peritonitis. 
   
  His headstone epitaph reads ‘Life, Not Death is the Great Adventure.’

  The greatest enemy is the one within. 
  Prince Kai Afkarr-Younger hides a dangerous secret—he’s been infected with the Nightmare Plague. Exhausted from battle and illness, he must force himself to stay awake or risk spawning yet another monster attack on the already beleaguered city; an impossible undertaking without the strength of his tamer. 
  Mari Asadottier will do whatever it takes to keep Kai’s infection secret from Alveria’s scheming Council. Without the power she offers through their bond, he’ll never make it through the coronation ceremony in his weakened condition. And without the strong leadership only Kai can provide, Bellsor will devolve into pandemonium. 
  But their efforts to protect Bellsor are hampered when Kai collapses shortly after being crowned, spawning the deadliest monster of all. Driven to defeat what he’s created, Kai nearly loses himself in a rogue animalistic frenzy. Only Mari’s persistence brings him back from the brink, and sets him upon the path to discovering Chaos’s nightmarish plan to destroy the Sources of Magic. 
  If they want any hope of defeating Chaos and protecting magic, Kai and Mari must hunt down and save the Primal Sources of Magic before they are gone forever—and Chaos reigns supreme. 
  Queen of the Dragons' Ava Richardson invites you to immerse yourself in a dragon-filled world with epic magic, fearless heroes and, at its heart, the deep bond between dragon and rider.
