“Oculeas, Oculeas,” chanted Opportunae. “Oculeas biantos, Oculeas!” The orb began to twinkle and shine, until it started to be-beep; be-beep; be-beep; be-beep. It was as if the orb instinctively knew it was on a different mission: one that did not involve homework.
Description:
When Oppie and Aurie are faced with a terrible battle between good and evil, they discover that friendship and sisterhood are the most precious things in the world.
In a realm where magic and legend still exist, it's easy to think that when you're just an ordinary girl, you'll never get the chance to be written into the history books. But when Oppie, and her dragon friend Aurie, find themselves on a mission to defeat the evil, oppressive forces of darkness, in the form of the dragon, Royzendeus, they discover that history is never made alone. As they travel, their army of light grows, and Aurie discovers that as a girl, she is blessed with an entire sisterhood she never realised existed.
EXCERPT
Aurora’s grandmother, great-grandmothers, aunts, fought against the evil army…It was Dragons against Trolls, Dwarves, and Wyverns; Mermaids, Oceanids and Nereids against Sea Serpents, Krakens, and Hydras. Mordred’s army against his father’s was the manifestation of evil: for his mother seduced Arthur when he was in a dream-like state, thinking it was his wife Guinevere, his trance ignited by a potion…concocted by Morgana Le Faye. Manipulation, upon manipulation. Deceit upon deceit. Deception upon deception. Lies upon lies.
