Synopsis

N. D. Wilson, author of Leepike Ridge and 100 Cupboards, returns with an action-packed adventure that will captivate fans of both Percy Jackson and Indiana Jones with lost civilizations, ancient secrets, and buried treasure.

For two years, Cyrus and Antigone Smith have run a sagging roadside motel with their older brother, Daniel. Nothing ever seems to happen. Then a strange old man with bone tattoos arrives, demanding a specific room.

Less than 24 hours later, the old man is dead. The motel has burned, and Daniel is missing. And Cyrus and Antigone are kneeling in a crowded hall, swearing an oath to an order of explorers who have long served as caretakers of the world's secrets, keepers of powerful relics from lost civilizations, and jailers to unkillable criminals who have terrorized the world for millennia.

From the Hardcover edition.

Goodreads review by Douglas on January 21, 2018

I had the privilege of reading this in manuscript, and it is just fantastic. Look for this book to release this summer -- August, in fact. The Dragon's Tooth is the first in a series of five. Nancy and I just read through this together again aloud (January 2018), and thoroughly enjoyed it. We read it......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on August 02, 2015

Another in a line of mediocre books I've run on lately. This is one of those been there done that books that slid over into boring very quickly for me. I will say this, if you are a young reader and haven't read many, many books that criticism may not apply to you. If so you'll probably enjoy the boo......more

Goodreads review by Gwen on August 28, 2011

Every title has a promise, and this one promises a lot. N.D. more than fulfills it. His word-craft is to our imaginations what a flaming match is to gasoline. Dialogue so yummy. Images that leap off the page in 3D. Characters you want to meet. Characters you want to kill. As always, Wilson’s voice is......more

Goodreads review by Kat on November 17, 2015

I admit, I almost gave up on this book after the first few chapters. NOT because the writing was bad, but because it jumped around too much, reminding me of watching my son play video games on the computer. And it had one of my pet peeves: a false sense of tension created by characters talking in ci......more
