Deep in the rain forest, danger awaits . . .

Glory knows that the dragon world is wrong about her being "a lazy RainWing." Maybe she wasn't meant to be one of the dragonets of destiny, but Glory is sharp and her venom is deadly . . . even if it's also still a secret.

So when the dragonets seek shelter in the rain forest, Glory is devastated to find that the treetops are full of RainWings who nap all day and know nothing of the rest of Pyrrhia. Worst of all, they don't realize -- or care -- that RainWings are going missing from their beautiful forest.

But Glory and the dragonets are determined to find the missing dragons, even if it drags the peaceful RainWing kingdom where they never wanted to be -- into the middle of the war.

It's time for the Twelve Towns' legendary magical tournament-the Golden Grog Games! With Ravenskill hosting this year's games, all eyes are on the now-famous Witchling Spares: Seven Salazar, Valley Pepperhorn, and Thorn Laroux. Thorn is ready to compete as a fashion champion - until a forbidden hex is used to turn her teammate to stone.

 Suspicion quickly falls on Thorn and her friends. But as the Witchlings attempt to unravel the miistery, and more witches fall victim to the stone hex, they start to realize that Thorn may be the Hexer's true target.

Meanwhile, Seven is harboring a dangerous secret: She's supposed to be able to communicate with animals, but the voices she hears most clearly belong to monstruos, and the spine-chilling voice of the deadly Nightbeast is the loudest of all.

Can Seven fix her broken magic and find out who's stonifying the champions... before Thorn becomes the next victim?
