Her difficulties with friendship and trust are put fully to the test when she discovers a dragon hiding in the woods behind her home, and a strange and powerful bond forms between them. When this beautiful and enchanting creature is joined by a fellow ally from a far-away world called Qi Ba Ru, they invite Annabelle to go on an adventure she couldn't possibly imagine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dragon speaks of a legend of her return to a world that was once well known to her ancestors and explains that her human family is in great danger. An evil war lord from this world, Daramac, has dedicated his life to putting an end to humankind, and he may have finally found a way to get to Annabelle's world and complete his mission. Full of fear, mistrust, and uncertainty, Annabelle embarks on this quest, relying more and more on the bonds she has formed with the dragon, Arielle, and the half-elf, Doogal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce in Qi Ba Ru, Doogal, Arielle and Annabelle hope to recover Daramac's greatest hidden treasure - the stolen golden eggs which hold the last of the female dragons of their time. The Legend of The Return paints Annabelle as the hero of the story, but she cannot believe it to be true. She is just a girl who misses her mom, and who feels afraid and unsure. This bond she has formed with her dragon, Arielle, is changing her, though. Maybe, when fueled by love and trust, anything is possible. Maybe their love is even strong enough to overcome great evil. As Annabelle faces this strange new world, she must find courage, confidence, and love within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 25, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52138591322343,"sku":"9781038320827","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/8329\/8279\/files\/dfe814ece81f88b30a7b8ed89ce9ef8c.webp?v=1780266248","url":"https:\/\/skinnonsmooth.myshopify.com\/products\/the-legend-of-the-return-paperback","provider":"SkinnOnSmooth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
